hi, I am tying to build a dvr program in visual basic 6, I need to see video from my dvr card inside a picture box in vb, so now I am trying to use directdraw 7 in order to get direct access to the video card memory, I was able to create the beginning of the code, so now I have a black rectangle inside my picturebox and I don't know who to continue... Can anyone tell me how to get the video with directx, Or maybe there is another way to do what I want... ofek

How will I know whether my hardware supports this bt848/bt878?, I tried once to generate a generic driver, I don't know if I set the settings well, but I know it did not work, and the manufacturer name did not appear in the settings options. So you mean that I should have bought the bt based hardware in the first place?

Even if I did use VC++, I still don't know in what way I can make it work... Should I use directshow?

Thnx for your reply, First of all, this software I’m building is not a server, I just want to see video from my DVR card (DVS 12016) inside visual basic. It works well in the original software but every time I try to see video in other software it tells me that no device has been detected... I don't know where I can get a generic driver for this card to work properly with other software as well, and I don't know how to extract the video to vb6 (Perhaps DirectShow?). As for the API functions, I tried to get the SDK, but to manufacturer won't give it to me, I know only the names of the functions I have to use and I have been able to call them, problem is, I don't know what parameters to call them with. Appreciate your help.
