Hi I have installed the The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG library to my linux to use it for compressing captured video to JPEG format. Version:release 6b of 26-Mar-1998 It seems to me that it has this function jpeg_stdio_dest which takes a FILE* pointer as argument for selecting destination. My problem is that I don't want to use a file as a destination for the compressed image. Is it possible to set somehow a buffer for the JPEG compressor to use it instead a FILE* stream? Or do I have an old library? Anybody knows if there is a newest JPEG library which I don't know? Best regards Laci
