Thanks Tom. I need to keep the image to diff against the current one (to see
movement). I'm not sure of a simple way to do this with your patch. However
I did get other ideas how I could use your patch, might try it after this
project.

The colour being off won't affect me, I would +1 for that option. I'm not
going to try changing your code though, I organised to get me a longer cable
and a firewire camera that solves my problem.

QT Broadcaster and QT Streaming Server have lag built in on purpose -- they

Thanks Dan, I was assuming it was deliberate delay. I'll try this if I have
to go back to using the video over the network for some reason.

Thanks everyone for your help!
