Trevor,

Agreed. It would be problematic to expect that Rev's videograbber function will work with most video cameras. I would find it important to test any possible camera first. And yes about VDIG. I simply meant that, at least with the Unibrain cameras, it's not necessary to install VDIG as well.

We have no problem using VideoGrabber under Windows XP. It's a basic component of our program. All aspects of it work perfectly. Quicktime works fine. Vdig is not necessary. Files need to be saved as .avi's... NOT .mov's on a PC. We use Unibrain firewire cameras (www.unibrain.com). I can give you specific coding if you want it.

Richard,

Unibrain firewire cameras apparently come with a VDIG (capture driver for QuickTime). Without the VDIG you can't get a camera to work with QuickTime.

If you have control of the cameras people are using then obviously this isn't a problem and the Rev Video Grabber would work great. If you are creating an app that people will use whatever camera they have available then relying on QuickTime capture can be problematic. Even the VDIG I pointed Klaus to won't give you optimal video capture performance.
