ContinuousCaptureAllFormats.win32.cpp

The ContinuousCaptureAllFormats.win32 program is based on the ContinuousCapture.win32.cpp example.

Note

This is a Windows® version of ContinuousCaptureAllFormats.cpp only needed when working on a Windows® system with a non C++11 capable compiler (e.g. Visual Studio smaller then 2013). For a detailed description please have a look on the modern version of this example. Even though the used C++ code is slightly different the general idea of the example is the same!
