The LEADTOOLS video capture SDK contains advanced features to simplify the process of capturing video from devices and cameras. Our SDK provides developers with all the tools needed to work with different video sources, including webcams, webcams, capture cards, TV tuners, DV cameras, etc. After capturing the video, developers can easily convert and store the video using various codecs (such as H.265, H.264, MJPEG and MPEG-2). The LEAD library provides the highest compression, speed and playback quality of any other multimedia SDK on the market.
Integrating video capture into your application? Quickly start with the code below, or view the complete tutorial to capture from video source to file.
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Leadtools;
using Leadtools.Multimedia;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
UnlockMultimedia();
CaptureVideo();
}
static void CaptureVideo()
{
string outputFile = @"C:\LEADTOOLS21\Resources\Images\captured.avi";
CaptureCtrl capture = new CaptureCtrl(true);
int deviceCount = capture.VideoDevices.Count;
if (deviceCount < 1)
{
Console.WriteLine("No compatible devices found. Exiting.");
return;
}
Console.WriteLine("Select device by typing its number and pressing Enter:");
for (int n = 0; n < deviceCount; n++)
Console.WriteLine(n.ToString() + " : " + capture.VideoDevices[n].FriendlyName);
int deviceIndex = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Preparing to capture . .");
capture.VideoDevices.Selection = deviceIndex;
capture.TargetFile = outputFile;
capture.TargetFormat = TargetFormatType.AVI;
// select a suitable compressor
capture.VideoCompressors.MJpeg.Selected = true;
//use CaptureMode.VideoAndAudio if an audio device is also selected.
capture.StartCapture(CaptureMode.Video);
Console.WriteLine("Capturing to file. Press any key to stop capture...");
while (!Console.KeyAvailable)
{
System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents();
int capMilliSeconds = (int)(1000 * capture.CaptureTime);
if (capMilliSeconds % 1000 == 0) // print a dot every second
{
Console.Write(". ");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
}
}
capture.StopCapture();
Console.ReadKey(true);
Console.WriteLine($"\nFinished capturing {capture.CaptureTime} seconds to file {outputFile}. Press any key to continue...");
Console.ReadKey(true);
}
