I want a very basic application that will take the input from a single camera (but preferably two) and output to two separate video streams (files).
Simultaneously I need to capture the audio from a discrete mic (rather than the mic on the web cam) and save to a separate stream
Finally I would want to play and at the same time output the content of an MP3 to a fourth file.
basically it will be an application to record me plying an instrument to a backing track but where i could subsequently sync the video(s), instrument and backing track in a video/audio editing package such as kdenlive and edit audio levels. Sync can be a bit of a faff so each of the streams would have a "clapper board" type sync video/audio inserted at the start(hence also copying the backing track).
I could possibly capture all sources and output to a single video/file and tweak the levels before I record, and this might be an option.
That is all background incase someone has a better suggestion :)
I think I can do all of that with imageEn, but I knocked up a quick application with imageEn to do this and the output video was massive and as I understand it by searching the forum imageEn when capturing with DirectShow does not allow simultaneous video compression (audio compression is not really an issue).
Is there a way of capturing video and audio with imageEn while compressing at the same time?
If ImageEn doesn't/can't do this then suggestions of other libraries (or even a third party tool - cheap as its for fun) would be welcome.
I am using C++ Builder and don't have delphi. |

Sorry, I had forgotten about that limitation. The other post is correct.

Thank You Nigel - have I misunderstood a previous answer you gave in this thread?

ImageEn is offloading all the video handling to DirectShow. I can't see any reason that DirectShow would be unable to handle video and audio compression.

Thank You Nigel - Am I right re the compression issue with ImageEn. I might be able to get a solution if I can get the file sizes down.
I was using DShowNewFrame to display the video. |

Hi
This sounds like it requires a more specialist video encoding library than ImageEn. I'm not sure what to recommend. I've used Multimedia Conversion Library in the past, but that no longer seems to be available.
