About Video Capture

AVICap supports streaming video capture and single-frame capture in real-time. In addition, AVICap provides control of video sources that are Media Control Interface (MCI) devices so the user can control (through an application) the start and stop positions of a video source, and augment the capture operation to include step frame capture.

The windows you create by using the AVICap window class can perform the following tasks:

    Capture audio and video streams to an audo-video interleaved (AVI) file.

    Connect and disconnect video and audio input devices dynamically.

    View a live incoming video signal by using the overlay or preview methods.

    Specify a file to use when capturing and copy the contents of the capture file to another file.

    Set the capture rate.

    Display dialog boxes that control the video source and format.

    Create, save, and load palettes.

    Copy images and palettes to the clipboard.

    Capture and save a single image as a device-independent bitmap (DIB).
