Greetings,

I am currently working on a project in which we need to stream live video off of a USB device and I was wondering, how I could go about doing it. I was able to accomplish the task using dynamic web twain(Trial Version) but I was wondering if there's another way that would be less expensive. I've seen a lot of information on directX, directshow, and WIA but I haven't found anything that clearly explains how to use them. I'm still a beginner.

Thank you
John
