Hi,
I am having an issue that I don’t understand with EMGU and a picturebox.
My program shows the live capture in a picturebox from local devices eg. Webcam and Camcorder.
When I connect to a webcam it works without problems, but when I connect to my DV Camera (connected thru Firewire) I works for some seconds and then picturebox throws an error.

In advance thank you for your help.

New info:

In the list of cameras there is at ID 0 : DV Camcorder, ID 1 : Logitech webcam
If I choose to view from the webcam and then when the capture is running choose the Camcorder it Works. If I choose the Camcorder first my program chrashes.
