It sounds like you'll want something like "VideoCog .NET Control: Add digital video to any .NET application instantly. The VideoCog control is a Windows Forms control that simplifies digital video processing for the developer." http://www.cogitance.com/videocog-overview.htm Although a quick look didn't reveal the price to me. You could google for "vb.net video processing" for others. -- Andrew

Without any compression you are limited with your available input-sources, since there's probably no "video-stream-file" out there nowadays which contains "uncompressed RawData". And there's also lesser performance, if you work without compression - although that seems a bit contradictory at the first sight. But reading/writing uncompressed RawData (for 640x480 pixel resolution this means 20-30 MB per second) from/to disk is often slower than the combination of a fast (only CPU-bound) codec and the reduced disk-IO. But your choice of course - I've already given my recommendation for "plain C" (if you really want to work near to the hardware) - and most C- Compilers support also some sort of Inline-Assembler, in case you're badly in need for tuned routines, which bypass the already very good optimization-tricks of the modern C-Compilers.
