Question

Can anyone help me to create a simple viewing of cam using just a simple TVideo component in delphi having a vid size of 160×120 only as default (no resize). Just a simple one. Please. Badly needed for my new project.

thanks.

Answer 1

There are many ways to do it , I couldn’t understand what do you mean by TVideo component but my solution can show image on a paintbox(any TCanvas)

use

http://www.delphibasics.info/home/delphibasicsprojects/directxdelphiwebcamcaptureexample/DirectXDelphiWebcamCapture.rar

this is a directX conversion to pascal made by [e-mail]

add VSample.pas and VFrames.pas to your project

uses  VFrames;

procedure TForm6.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

var
cam:TVideoImage;
strlst:TStringList;
begin

   strlst := TStringList.Create ;

   cam := TVideoImage.Create;
   cam.GetListOfDevices(strlst);

   cam.SetDisplayCanvas(PaintBox1.Canvas);
   cam.VideoStart(strlst.Strings[0])    ;//specify your cam by number
end;
