VisioForge Video Capture SDK allows programmers to easily integrate video capturing and processing capabilities into their software applications. VisioForge Video Capture can play and capture video and audio streams from TV tuners, USB webcams, DV camcorders, PCI capture cards, USB capture devices and firewire cameras. VisioForge Video Capture SDK major features include: - Preview - Video capture to * AVI (using audio/video codecs like MJPEG, DivX, XviD) * WMV (support of custom WMV profiles. You can configure streams to use variable bit rate encoding (VBR), uncompressed audio or video stream, video size, buffer size, frame rate, etc.) * Flash Video (FLV) * DV and MPEG from DV Camcorders and TV Tuners with internal MPEG Encoder * MPEG 1/2 using Standard MPEG Encoder (with VCD/SVCD/DVD profiles) * DV (from any video capture device) * custom output formats (using 3rd-party DirectShow filters) - Audio capture to * WAV (compressed or not) * MP3 (using LAME) - Frame capture to TBitmap/HBitmap in Delphi/ActiveX, BMP and JPEG files - Video processing and effects * graphic overlay * text overlay * video transparency * brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, etc. * inverted colors * greyscale * other more than 30 effects * resize to any resolution * 3rd party DirectShow filters support - Deinterlace - TV Tuning * TV channels selecting * video formats selecting * input selection (TV-Tuner, FM-Tuner, S-Video, etc.) * auto-tuning - Video capture device control * video input * video format * frame rate * supports video cards with several inputs * camera control (brightness, saturation, etc.) - Network streaming in WMV format - Plugins Supported input devices - DV Camcorders - USB web-cameras - PCI capture cards - TV Tuners (with and without internal MPEG Encoder) - other USB capture devices, firewire cameras, audio capture devices.
