Video for Windows
Developed by Microsoft, this is a standard for displaying video on the Windows desktop. Windows has this built in. This standard has now been superseded by DirectShow, which is part of DirectX.
Video stream
A collection of images that combine to form motion - or moving - pictures (also known as movies or video clips).
WIA
WIA is short for Windows Image Acquisition. Windows®XP might start a generic WIA interface when you choose the camera device name with the WIA prefix as your source device for image capture, instead of the TWAIN View Finder. This Microsoft® WIA interface allows you to capture still images with your camera, but without the advanced capabilities of the TWAIN software.
Preferably, you should select the 'Philips ToUcam Camera' as your TWAIN source device for acquiring still images with your camera.
