      • I am using the Video for Windows (VFW) API to create AVI files. My code works fine on XP Pro SP2 and Windows 2000. However, the same code running on Vista creates the AVI files with bad headers. The corruption begins after the video and audio stream format headers starting at the JUNK chunk. Example: //Stream header info comes before this Low rate size 00000294 (660) 000000000000

I'd like my software to: - enable elevating itself (with the UAC prompt) when necessary - return to normal priviledge upon user choice For th

      • Hi, I have absolutely no experience with directshow and would like your opinion on whether it would be suitable for my application. I have a USB camera which can capture raw (bayer mosaiced) video at 7fps. Each frame is 5megapixels (2500x2000). I played around a bit with the graphedit utility and figured out that dshow is able to play the color frames at 7fps (after bayer to RGB24 conversion). Now

      • Is it safe to cache and access RuleSets and RuleEngines from multiple threads I've done tests and everything seems to work OK (no exceptions, rules seem to execute fine). I ask because it's about an order of magnitude difference to spawn a new RuleEngine for each execution versus sharing one among threads. (Even higher to create new RuleSets...)
