Has anyone ever managed to integrate a TV Capture card with DBP? I've just impulse-bought a spy camera (20mm square!) which transmits wirelessly over UHF. You get the receiver with it, but it's designed for TVs - not PCs. I have a video capture card, and I figure it'd be cool (but slow) to use DBPs 2d image commands to detect movement. Obviously, the problem is getting the image from the camera into a memblock. I'm assuming windows/directx has some standard DLLs for avi capture (using the drivers/dlls provided with the capture card) but it's getting those into a memblock.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

TCA was playing around with something like this a while back (or maybe it was with a webcam)

It was a webcam - I'm not entirely sure if the two can be treated as the same.
