Help with DirectX

[TheKing]

Now this may be way over my head right now but I still need to come through with this one.

I have a video conferencing camera (Sony EVI-D30) and I can do all the controlling of this camera with my little VB app that I wrote.

Now the sticky part is getting the picture out of my ATI video card into my VB form and then taking a still capture of said video stream.

Now ATI has told me that "The API we support for video development is Microsoft's DirectShow" My problem is that from what I can gather about DirectShow is that is uses DirectX 9.0 witch has a developers SDK but it is for VB.NET not VB 6.0. That would be a problem for me since I haven't gotten into .NET yet.

Now I do have DirectX8 for Visual Basic Type Library in my references for my VB project. Is this the dll that I can add and call to get video out of a second video card?

Thanks, I just really need someone to point me to a starting place.

At the bottom of the page is the directx archives from DX7 and up. Now DX7 and I belive 8.1a have Direct Show as part of their SDK. Not so sure about 8.1b and I remember somewhere a download for direct show but could not find it today.

Good Luck
