Dear All, I found a video capture that does what I'm looking for - capture until the end of a recording, then dump a small log file. I'm writing a small script that scans a directory looking for new files, namely, that log file.
Ideally, it scans once a minute to look for this file, and, if it is present, begins a whole new set of steps. My fear is that, given how very finicky video capture is and its propensity to drop frames if anything else is happening on that system, my once-a-minute check will interrupt the process and cause dropped frames. Currently, I am sticking to using the MS Task Scheduler and executing the perl program once per minute. However, I can't seem to figure out how to set the priority on scheduled tasks. I know Win32::Task Scheduler exists, but my fear is that, by the time I have the code make the change in priority (interestly, I didn't see low settings, only high settings), it will be too late. Anyone have some suggestions as to setting priority on the "Scheduled Tasks"? Or is there a better way?
