in this part of the code:

VB

bmpDeck = DirectCast(formx.vspdeck.GetCurrentVideoFrame().Clone(), Bitmap)

<Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()>  _
     Protected Overrides Sub OnCreateMainForm()

The error is pretty explicit:

The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion.  Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.'

So start with the form constructor, and start looking for references to form instances or new form instances being created. Putting a breakpoint on the constructor and following it through would be a good idea.

We can't do that for you: we don't have access to your code!
