Hi

I wrote a small app with a window that displays the streaming
video from a web cam. Its based on win32 APIs like capFileSaveDIB(..)
They are called : "Video Capture Macros"

The problem with this API, is that you need a window to get the frames.
I need to pump the frames from the web cam, into a memory buffer,
NOT a window. I need to process the pixels and then display them into
a window of my choice.

If this can NOT be achieved with the capXXX API functions, then
is there another way ?

thanks
