Hi,  
I am using CVB with an EH6300 camera, connected to a Gigabit interface. Recently, I needed to record the video flow in order to be able to use it later. As a consequence, I am looking to make a small tool, able to grab real-time images, keep the display, and record them to the hard drive.  
I am new at CVB coding, and start learning how to use the framework. It would help a lot to have an example from which I could start with. Would anyone have such related prog from which I could draw inspiration?  
Many thanks!

Hi @trob,

do you want to save single images or video streams? If you’d like to record AVIs you can use the :cvb: _Movie2_ tool. There is e.g. a C# example that does exactly what you want: _C# Movie2 Recorder Example_. It is located at `%CVB%\Tutorial\Movie2\CSharp\CSMovie2Recorder`. There are also tutorials for other programming languages.

Just to make sure: _Movie2_ is only installed with full :cvb: (not part of the :cvb: CameraSuite setup).

Hi @parsd,  
It’s video stream, sorry. Ok, seems that I did not have the full :cvb: install. I will get the latest and check.  
Many thanks!
