Video Acquisition: Saving an AVI File

The window of the resulting application looks as follows:

First of all, IC Imaging Control and two buttons to start and stop video are dragged onto the form.

The program starts by activating a built-in dialog that allows the end user to select a video capture device (.ShowDeviceSettingsDialog). Then, live image data stream of the the video capture device is displayed, using LiveStart:

[C#]
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    icImagingControl1.ShowDeviceSettingsDialog();

    if( !icImagingControl1.DeviceValid )
    {
        Close();
        return;
    }

    btnStopCapture.Enabled = false;
    icImagingControl1.LiveStart();
}

When the end user clicks on "Start Capture AVI", the device's image data stream(.LiveStop) is stopped and the creation of the AVI file is started (.AviStartCapture).

Clicking on "Stop Capture AVI" closes the AVI file(.AviStopCapture) and starts the image data stream (.LiveStart):

[C#]
private void btnStartCapture_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    icImagingControl1.LiveStop();
    icImagingControl1.AviStartCapture( "video.avi", "DV Video Encoder" );

    btnStartCapture.Enabled = false;
    btnStopCapture.Enabled = true;
}

private void btnStopCapture_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    icImagingControl1.AviStopCapture();
    icImagingControl1.LiveStart();

    btnStopCapture.Enabled = false;
    btnStartCapture.Enabled = true;
}
