Video Parsing - Frame by Frame

[ctote]

Hey again everyone,

I'm still pretty new to Qt. Is there a way to parse video over a USB connection? For example, we have a Sony HandyCam that connects to the computer via USB -- we need to be able to take in that data frame-by-frame and parse our pixels for colors of interest. Can someone point me in the general direction? Preferably, the solution would be platform independent but this isn't a requirement right away.

Thanks for any help

The image acquisition it self will have to be handled by the USB driver and the utility lib that usually comes with such a driver.
The application being cross platform is dependent on the platforms support by the camera driver, and if it comes with a utility lib, then the platforms which this lib supports.

The rest, handling the image data it self, can be done with Qt in a cross platform way.

Classes of interest will probably be:
QImage,
QPixmap,
QByteArray

Currently we're using VideoCapX -- any clue about how we can get that incorporated somehow?

did you get the source code or just the activex component?
It must have come with some code examples.
You might want to read up on all the QAx classes.
