Amancio Hasty: |Do you also keep track of skipped video frames? The driver |may need a little work to faithfully report how many frames it |has skipped . Indirectly. That's what the timestamp is for. If around 33 msec has past since the last frame, 0 frames skipped. If around 66 msec, 1 frame skipped, etc. Don't worry about adding this to the driver. The number of frames it skipped is really only part of the equation. If the app has to block for a bit writing frame data to disk, its going to skip more frames than were actually captured. So the captured skip rate isn't really that useful. Thanks, Randy
