    VFW users wanted

    I am looking for someone who is currently using VFW.
    I am using it with MFC and OpenCV and have some unaswered questions.
    Not posting it now since most posts regarding VFW are YEARS old and most folks just do not have a basic knowledge of these API's.
    For example - I can get the capDriverConnect to display the image only when in debug mode. Outside debug I get blank screen. ( I did try several delays in my code - no success)
    So I need somebody who really knows this API and not just running OpenCV.
    Thanks for you time
    Vaclav

    so it sounds like you are offering a job or something?

    Did you consider asking closer to home?

    I'd say it's about 90% a bug in your code.
    - you get lucky with an uninitialised value (it just happens to be what you want it to be)
    - you get lucky with a buffer overrun (it doesn't trash something else)
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
