Capture screen to AVI and encode it with indeo 5.10

[oliverlin]

hi everyone,
I have problem here:

I am writing a program to capture a certain area of screen frame(by GDI functions) and by which to create an AVI file.

The program works fine while compressed by "Microsoft Video 1" format but I can not use "Indeo video 5.10" for the compression format.

When I set the "AVICOMPRESSOPTIONS.fccHandler = mmioFOURCC ('I', 'V', '5', '0' );" and run the program, it returns an error from "AVIStreamSetFormat ()".
It seems that the encoder does not compatible with the source data ?

I downloaded the "Indeo" codec at "http://christophermolloy.com/photo/iv5setup.exe ".

I don't know it was because the "Indeo" codec I downloaded was not correct or beause it has special source data format requirement that it doesn't work.

Can anyone give me a clue about this or give me a pointer to some related information ?

My software environment: OS: Windows 2000 professional + SP4 Compiler: VC++ 6.0 + SP5

Thanks in advance !!

Hi,
I have made a program that has a function similar your considering but capturing bitmap from USB- camera instead of capturing from Screen. It is possible to use Indeo 5.0 codec to compress bitmap if you use Video Compression Functions. I remember there is a topic in codeguru giving a class that wrap all compression functions into, it names CVidc. If you could not find it out please ask me for sending that class to you.

Ha Nguyen.
