why do you say: 'and better'?

Mine has a better discription + _WebcamRecordStart + _WebcamRecordStop + His udf has an error, Mine works with an Id Returned, His doesn't wich explains the error

?? I don't get the clue, what is worse about mine?

Look in the original topic of how to use the webcam, and check for my post. It shows how to call the webcam, only without using the GUI that comes with it.

Also, try to thank the original author inside the code as well. Someone may find your code in a location other then this, and he would think you made it completely, because that is what you state.

Example:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <Webcam.au3>

$gui = GUICreate("Test",322,242)

$camera = _WebcamOpen($gui,1,1,320,240)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then

_WebcamClose($camera)

Exit

EndIf

Sleep(100)

WEnd

ludocus, you can refine the UDF, to be able to specify what parameters to run the camera? (I like the program, which goes along with the driver is given resolution, and frame rate.) And in the UDF is run with default settings?

May I know is it possible to adjust the quality settings of webcam (eg. brightness, contrast, gamma, etc) and is there any way of reading back the different settings from the current webcam before I set it?

This UDF doesn't work on any OS above XP (meaning Vista/7/and probably 8).

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

This is true, but if you use the dll avicap32.dll from XP, as I use, works normally!

Shows us that the dll of Windows 7 has some problem.
