Hello!

I'm interested in capturing images from a usb-camera. Can anyone tell me
where to start? I've never created an application for Mac OS X but I
work as a C++-developer so I just need to be pointed in the right
direction. I've tried searching developer.apple.com but there doesn't
seem to be anything there relating to webcameras. My guess is I have to
use Quicktime.
Thanks in advance!

I've never used it, but I believe the magic word is 'sequence
grabber'...

f.i.
