Hi 

We have a project demo the day after tomorrow and we have some problems
using a specific camera with DsVideoLib. The camera is a VRMagic VRmC-3i (a
USB cam). The problem is that we use two cameras for our application so we
have to give the devise name to DsVideoLib and that is my problem. When I
use GraphEdit to find the devise name, as suggested by Thomas Pintaric at
his homepage, it is:

@d .....:sw:{860BB310-5D01-11D0-BD3B-00A0C911CE86}\VRmagic VRmUsbCam DS

I have tried to give the application all permutations of this substring that
I could think of e.g.: 

@d .....:sw:{860BB310-5D01-11D0-BD3B-00A0C911CE86}\VRmagic VRmUsbCam DS
860BB310-5D01-11D0-BD3B-00A0C911CE86
{860BB310-5D01-11D0-BD3B-00A0C911CE86}\VRmagic VRmUsbCam DS
{860BB310-5D01-11D0-BD3B-00A0C911CE86}\VRmagic VRmUsbCam
{860BB310-5D01-11D0-BD3B-00A0C911CE86}\VRmagic
{860BB310-5D01-11D0-BD3B-00A0C911CE86}

And other strings similar to the above.
I have also tried to use combinations of the string "VRmagic VRmUsbCam DS"
as friendly name (and I remembered to set InputDevice to WDM_CAP). 

Any suggestions? 

All types of advice are welcome.

Best regards

Sune,

We have some code to get the device name, which we are trying to find 
time to put into libARVideoWin32. We could dig this up tomorrow 
(already nighttime here) if you are desperate.

But one thing about your question.. is the device name you get below 
with just one camera plugged in? Because some camera drivers don't 
support more than one camera, even though DsVideoLib does. And also of 
course, you will need device names for both cameras..

Phil.
