New Webcam capture software

[rwg]

Might work if you can find an ASCOM driver for the DMK21 (or if it has a webcam style 'directshow' driver). I don't have one personally and don't know of anyone who has tried using one with Sharpcap, so you'll be discovering new things if you try

Hi Robin - newish to SGL and just discovered your brilliant SharpCap - works straight-from-the-can on my XP and cheapo Asdacam. It's much better for preview/ controls than Amcap's horrible menus. Will give 2nd modded Asdacam a go on scope when next clear sky - see Asdacam thread/pics on SGL Discussion - Cameras.

Mods, any chance of locking this one?

cheers,

I refer the honourable forum members to the new SharpCap thread - please continue the discussion there

but in swift reply

* glad it works nicely with the asdacam

* Missing controls on the right hand side are down to driver developers not implementing IAmCameraControl and IAmVideoProcAmp properly (or at all). I managed to work around this for the SPC900 as it was so popular, but it took me weeks - can't do that for every camera.

* As far as I know SharpCap should work fine on Windows XP - you may need to isnstall the Microsoft .NET framework (v2) first. If still having problems, please post the full error message you receive.
