QuickCam multiple cameras
I'm interested in developing an application with multiple cameras
(actually taking still shots from multiple cameras simultaneously), I've just bought two QuickCam Pro 4000s and there appears to be no developer type software available anywhere. I've found on-line links to a supposed sdk but they're all dead links. Does anyone have a copy of the SDK or know where one can be found? What's the story on this anyway? Why has the SDK been smoked? Apparently, the camera can be accessed through some COM object interface, does anyone have any pointers to details of how this could be done? I'm interested in using C++ in Visual Studio 6. Thanks in advance ...

I realized this morning that Logitech appears to have gone the DirectX
route when I tried firing up the LeadTools video capture sample application and found my picture on the screen when it started! (LeadTools multimedia package is a wrapper for DirectShow.) 15 minutes later, I had the second camera plugged in and with two instances of the capture app, I had side by side stereo video in no time. (The only slowdown was putting the second camera on a separate USB controller because of bandwidth complaints.) Pretty slick... For anyone else who's interested, LeadTools multi-media has a two month evaluation edition: http://www.leadtools.com/SDK/Multime...Products-n.htm Thanks again for the pointer ...
