I need a super quick and easy modification to a program called VirtualVCR, which has very well commented and organized sourcecode here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/show...?group_id=70317
The problem is I can't compile it and don't know C++.
I need to be able to start and stop video capture from another application. Currently I'm sending keystrokes (F5 starts capture, ESC stops it) but that takes mouse focus away from another part of my project.
If you look at the file VirtualVCRsrc/virtualvcr.cpp you can see where the start and stop routines are. I'd like to make these triggerable from commandline. In other words, an external script can tell a running instance of VirtualVCR to start and stop capture.
If this sort of messaging is too complicated we can just do it with a text file. So VirtualVCR could have a polling thread or routine that looks for the presence of a text file in the same directory as VirtualVCR. Call it trigger.txt. If it finds trigger.txt it reads the file. If the text says "go" it starts capture, if it says "stop" it stops capture. No muss no fuss.
Anyone know of someone? Can paypal over $200 if you can do it today....
