Hi Franz, Double buffering is up to u ;). Just get at least 2 Buffers from the driver, and use them one after another as a ringbuffer :). U could have more buffers, so u don't need to worry, if u need more time to process one picture. Streaming is done, as long as u pass a buffer back to driver to fill it. No Buffer - no Streaming. Buffers are filled with continuing frames, so don't expect to dequeue 5 Buffers to get 5 (seperated) pics per second. This would produce just a line of 5 Pictures out of 25, not 5 Pictures with 4 Frames between them. U have to make the correct timing by urself to do that ;). Hope i could help u a little bit.
