access DV cam (firewire)

[Dirk Reske]

Hello,

is there a way to access my DV cam using firewire?
Is there something in DirectX?
I want to read and write to the cam.
Or do I have to use other ways?which?

thx

Dirk,

I think your best bet would be to look at the Windows Image Aquisition
SDK, which you can access through COM interop. It will allow you to get
images from devices such as digital cameras, still and video.

Hope this helps.

Out side of that, you have to use DirectShow, which managed directx doesn't
expose. YOu may have to use MC++ to use it, I havn't had time to play with
it yet.

Hope this helps.
