Grabbing video frames from webcam...

[aRRoW]

Ok, probably a n00b question but here goes: Is anyone able to supply some
sample source code or just some documentation regarding capturing frames
from a webcam into an array? I'm doing this on Windows using VS.net but if
possible, would like crossplatform compatibility with Linux.
Crosscompatibility isn't necessary however and something that uses windows
API's would be fine...

Thanks,

Arrow

Yes, but they are not located in this newsgroup. This newsgroup
discusses issues about the C++ language, not platform specifics.
The _standard_ C++ language has no facilities for graphics.

I'm doing this on Windows using VS.net but if
possible, would like crossplatform compatibility with Linux.

Looks like you need the experts from a Windows or Linux
newsgroup. See the FAQ and welcome.txt links below.

Remember, just because you use the C++ language for a
platform specific purpose doesn't mean that your issue
is _about_ the C++ language.
