I am using web cam in WPF application. I am using Expression Encoder for video capture. for video capture I have created Job and its working properly. While I want to get picture with same resolution as video is. for this I am using ffmpeg to extract first frame from video. but quality of image is very low. the priority is that image quality should be best of attached web cam and resolution should be as much as video is.

Either we have any better option in Expression Encode for taking picture or kindly help me with any alternative.

You can have a look at this control:

The control provides the following functionalities:

  • Gets a list of available web camera devices on a system.

  • Displays a video stream from a web camera device.

  • Gets the current image being captured.

Requirements

  • The WPF version of the control is implemented using .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.

  • The control uses the VMR-9 renderer filter available since Windows XP SP2.

  • The control supports both x86 and x64 platform targets.
