How can I get images/video secuence from a webcam?

Hi!

I need to get images or video from a webcam as part of a new software. The problem is I don't know how to start. I don't really know if I have to use the dll files from the webcam drivers or if there's a general method through Directx or other functionaly from windows.

Thanks!

Look up 'Twain' - that's a start.....

It's an interface standard most devices like that adhere to, and there's lots of free libraries and examples around.
