Post by thread:[OT] automatically taking pictures from webcam (wi

to debug a system (not pic based ;-) i'd like to use a webcam. as i don't like to sit there for hours to find out the moment, it fails, i would like to record it using a webcam, to be able to search this 'optical log' afterwards. i only have an old notebook pc with 200mhz, and using a video grabber software locks up the pc and crashes. so i would like to use a tool, taking a photo about every 10 secs, and storing it as an individual jpeg. unfortunately, i still haven't found a tool dooing just this job (under windows), which is able to run on an old machine like that. anything recommended? thanx! tino

You'll have to use a video grabber, I guess... just need to look for one until you find one that doesn't lock it up :) Maybe try this one: http://www.chambily.com/index.php?page=onesoft&id=081&nom=AxelWebCam Gerhard
