Still Capture Library is a collection of components for developers which enables them to add still capture functions for video recording devices such as webcams and DV camcorders.
The library is based on the DirectShow API but all the complexity is invisible to the developer.

Even though the library is very small, it features all the functions needed to get the most out of the available webcams.
