video-capture-sdk-net-console

What problem does it solve?

It removes the friction of building a Windows .NET console app that can reliably enumerate video/audio devices and record headlessly to a file without a UI preview surface.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Headless capture & recording: Drive VisioForge Video Capture SDK .NET directly from a console host using no window, no preview renderer, and a simple start/stop lifecycle.
• Device + format selection: Enumerate capture devices, pick the best or a specific video format and frame rate, and optionally select audio sources (including using the video device’s audio when available).
• Common production deployment guidance: Covers typical failures such as missing DLLs/native runtimes, codec-not-found errors, and trial-period expiry/unlicensed startup behavior with the correct certificate call.
• Use case: Run an automated scheduled task or CLI workflow that records from a webcam, IP camera, or screen and writes output files (e.g., output.mp4) for later playback or downstream processing.

Quick Start

Use the references/Program.cs template to build a console project that enumerates devices, records to output.mp4 or output.avi, and stops on ESC.
