Comments

You must have a camera-equipped Windows Mobile powered device with a video capture driver installed, to use this application.

The emulator ships with a null capture driver.

The video is saved to the mobile device's root folder with the default file name "video1.asf", and the still image is saved with the default file name "test.jpg".
