Video Acquisition: Saving an AVI

The sample application's window looks as follows:

The program starts by activating a built-in dialog to select a device (.ShowDeviceSettingsDialog). Then, the device's live image data stream is displayed using LiveStart (see dialog on the right):

Private Sub Form_Load()

    ICImagingControl1.ShowDeviceSettingsDialog

    If Not ICImagingControl1.DeviceValid Then
        Unload Me
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ICImagingControl1.LiveStart

    cmdStopCapture.Enabled = False

End Sub

Clicking on "Start Capture AVI", the user starts the AVI file's creation; clicking on "Stop Capture AVI" closes the AVI file:

Private Sub cmdStartCapture_Click()

    ICImagingControl1.LiveStop
    ICImagingControl1.AviStartCapture "video.avi", "DV Video Encoder"

    cmdStartCapture.Enabled = False
    cmdStopCapture.Enabled = True

End Sub

Private Sub cmdStopCapture_Click()

    ICImagingControl1.AviStopCapture
    ICImagingControl1.LiveStart

    cmdStartCapture.Enabled = True
    cmdStopCapture.Enabled = False

End Sub
