Hi

I know its possible and the documentation ( DirectShow) is around but I just am not capable of filtering it out to a basic script (C++ or otherwise, I understand the function but am not familiar with this programming language ).

I am in need to trigger a softpackage for videocapture by means of the status of the dv camera ( is recording or not) rather than having to use the keyboard .

Anyone familiar with the SDK to help me with a very basic script to give me the status of the camera please !.
Probably the easyest way compared to go into the package its dll and check the status). is relative easy for me to use a script to manipulate the package but need the status first .

help really appreciated as I have been searching and breaking my head on this for such a long time .

thanks
