Hi,

Have a look at this[^] and this[^] articles for image capture from Web Cam.

With the suggested articles you will get a pointer to a BITMAPINFO[^] structure (PBITMAPINFO) which contains all the header data of the bitmap. The pixel data section of the bitmap is in memory exactly after the BITMAPINFO structure, just like bitmap files. :)

I hope this helps.

Regards
