Hello i am looking for information on how to use a webcam with an delphi program. I have looked on some examples but either the do not work or work for a period of time. Also i saw an example using directshow wanting to use even direct3d (yikes).

Now i believe vfw is capeable of capturing from a wabcam device and so together with: http://www.sulaco.co.za/opengl_project_ ... xtures.htm thing could work out. The only thing with this example is that it bugs on my pc.

This example (http://www.delphipraxis.net/topic71146.html) should use vfw to display the image from the webcam on a planel. The only thing is that it does not offer an compatible mode. E.g. it offers 320x240 instead of 320x200 which is supported by my webcam.

So help is appreciated.

Once i get the basics to work i want to take it a step further and create something like: http://www.fix8.com/ .

It also seems to link in directx and even direct3d. As i use opengl i want to avoid using things like directx.
