Getting a snapshot from a webcam with Delphi

I need to get a regular snapshot from a webcam in Delphi. Speed is not a problem (once a second is fine). I have tried demo code from based on stuff from http://delphi.pjh2.de but I can't get it to work. It compiles and runs OK but the callback function never fires.

I don't have a real webcam but am running instead a simulator. The simulator works (I can see the video using Skype) but not with the test app. I don't really know where to start looking...

Can anyone be bothered to try this code? (Apologies for the voluminous post - couldn't find how or if you can attach files - a zip file is available here.)

Alternatively, any webcam demo code would be appreciated, preferably with a known good EXE as well as source.

Your program works for me on Win7 32bits with D2010.

What it does though is raising an exception:

---------------------------
Project WebCamTest.exe raised exception class EFCreateError with message 
'Cannot create file "c:\webcam.jpg". Access is denied'.
---------------------------

which can be corrected by changing

FJpeg.SaveToFile('c:\webcam.jpg');

to

FJpeg.SaveToFile(TPath.GetTempPath + '\webcam.jpg');

And also, it does not display the whole available image, you'd have to enlarge your Panel, recenter or shrink the webcam output.

Update with some code modifications that would make it work per your comments...

  // introducing the RGB array and a buffer
  TVideoArray = array[1..PICHEIGHT] of array[1..PICWIDTH] of TRGBTriple;
  PVideoArray = ^TVideoArray;

  TForm1 = class(TForm)
[...]
  FBuf24_1: TVideoArray;
[...]

function FrameCallbackFunction(AHandle: hWnd; VIDEOHDR: TVideoHDRPtr): bool; stdcall;
var
  I: integer;
begin
  result:= true;

  with form1 do begin
  try
    if ConvertCodecToRGB(FCodec, VideoHDR^.lpData, @FBuf2, PICWIDTH, PICHEIGHT) then
    begin

      SetBitmapBits(FBitmap.Handle, PICWIDTH* PICHEIGHT* SizeOf(DWord), @FBuf1);
    end
    else
    begin  // assume RGB
      for I:= 1 to PICHEIGHT do
        FBuf24_1[I] := PVideoArray(VideoHDR^.lpData)^[PICHEIGHT-I+1];

I use a component called TVideoCap. It is for 3, 4, and 5 but it includes source so it is easy to update. It will do exactly what you want. Just do a search for 'TVideoCap'.
