Animation / Direct Camera Feed

[Petrus Vorster]

This is one of my crazy ideas again. A side project if you can say so.
But if anyone has some ideas, it may put me on some right track.

1) What animation control should I use to view AVI files in Firefly?
2) How can one view a direct feed from a digital camera on a form?
3) How do they make a program identify certain shapes in a video feed? (Like faces?)

Some pet project to record video streams.
