You're welcome :) :badger:

According to A Simple C# Wrapper for the AviFile Library[^] you cannot add compressed images directly. It seems that you have to create a new Stream add them to that, then add the new stream. Anyway the article explains it better than I can. Although, from a very quick read, it does not seem to use BITMAPINFOHEADER.Compressed it seems to manage the whole thing.

Ok thanx for the help. So if showing pictures at a quick pace is actually just a video surely I can use DirectX or DirectShow to play the "Video"? Or wont this be quick enough to do what I want? If not I will just have to reduce the frame rate. Thanks

Sorry for the lack of info. Ill try to explain what I am doing. I have a server application that is connected to mutltiple ethernet cameras. The server application is responsible for recording video and redirecting the camera streams. The client application is used to view the live camera streams and recorded video. When sending the live stream from the server to the client applications I get the wierd behavour shown in the image. The image shows frames from 2 cameras. I was thinking that it was caused by a race condition somewhere at first. But after testing the applications over a busier network the corruption of the frames seems to increase. So maybe it has somthing to do with TCP.

I don't know why, but you might try handling the normalize (and maximize) event and calling show window, or bring to top, or maybe even focus on the video window. .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly ----- "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J.

When you accept you get a socket. You process that socket in another thread. Either create one or use the thread pool.

Thanx for the reply Im using MJPG, I dont think that the images are recieved in BMP format. Isnt there some method I can use to extract the BITMAPINFOHEADER? Im having trouble writing the images to a avi file because of the format the images are in. Im having to change the image format before writing to video file which is to slow. Thanx

Looks to me like your pinvoke signature is wrong. Several of the items are declared as the items themselves, not as pointers like the actual function expects: pc lpBits pfKey plSize Use this tool to help you generate the pinvoke signatures: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/7/f279e71e-efb0-4155-873d-5554a0608523/CLRInsideOut2008_01.exe[^] And when you get them generated, please post them on www.pinvoke.net for others to use. I used that same tool to help me generate pinvoke signatures for the wifi DLL in Windows.
