  Hey guys,
  
  I have a problem. I just tried this sample program <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/webcamservice.aspx">http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/webcamservice.aspx</a>[<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/webcamservice.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>], and it worked fine. But i need to take a single Frame about 5 times each second. So that i can save 5 single pictures / sec. But as far as i know and tried to change the time to capture a single frame on 1s for example. Then i saw that the initialising process of the camera takes about 2-3 seconds. I also tried to initialise the camera only once, but then the same picture is taken all the time..so i need to initialise the camera to get a new picture? Is it possible to take more pictures in 1 second?
  
  if i want to take a frame,my webcamserv.exe gets called
  
  <code>private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              try
              {
                 
                  n = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
                  n.StartInfo.FileName = "webcamserv.exe";
                  n.StartInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
                  n.Start();
                 
             
                 
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
                  Console.WriteLine(ex);
              }
  </code>
  
  The webcamserv.exe does this:
  
  <code>static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              Program ServiceToRun = new Program();
              new Program().Run();
          }
          public void Run()
          {
              try
              {
  
                  Image image = Capture.GetImage();
                  String pfad = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["path"];
                  image.Save(pfad, ImageFormat.Bmp);
                  image.Dispose();
  
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
                  Console.WriteLine(ex);
                  Console.ReadKey();
              }
  </code>
  
  Any solutions? tips?
