Hello Andrei,

I'm now testing asCamcorder. Have good results, but when I have more then one Webcam connected to my Notebook I don't have the possibility to change from one webcam to the other. I'm using your sample you have included with the plugin.

Maybe I don't understand the function of the Indexes but I tried to change these and nothing happens.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Best regards,

Eric

I do not have two cameras, so I tested it on one. Try this order of command execution.

1 Camera - Button1
1 Command: asCamCreate "Rectangle1"
2 Command: asCamCaptureWeb "Rectangle1" "Enable" "0"

2 Camera - Button2
1 Command: asCamCreate "Rectangle1"
2 Command: asCamCaptureWeb "Rectangle1" "Enable" "1"

If it doesn't work out, I'll get the second camera and check on 2 cameras ...

Hello Andrei,

I tried what you suggested in your message above, but no changes. Have internal webcam in notebook and external FHD webcam.
If I start the webcam the external webcam shows up, if I use index 1, 2, 3... and so on, it doesn't change the webcam.
Next to this the external webcam is FHD 1920x1024, but the "asCamDialogDriver" shows a maximum resolution of 640x480.

I hoped to use the plugin for an project because all the other possibilities are great, and even to combine the asCamcorder with asPicture would make a perfect combination. But the webcam selection and correct resolution is needed.

If you want and have time it would be great to review the plugin. I can support you with testing because I have a lot of hardware to test available.

Thanks a lot and kind regards,

Eric

Hello David,

I tried you Cam plugin. I can switch the cameras this works fine, but I cannot set any resolution higher than 640 x 480 even when the camera supports higher resolutions.

Best regards,

Eric

Hi ebear,

Remember this kind of plugins are wrappers of Video For Windows (VFW) and exists since Win95OSR2 (long time ago).

At those time the maximum resolution imaginable for a webcam were 640 x 480.

Nothing to do with this limitation. Sorry.

Hello David,

That's a pity, but okay I'm searching further for a good solution.

Thanks a lot,

Eric
