I am working on a communications program with camera inputs.
I have added Jukuma's DBP CAP DLL Plug-in and it works fine on its own, but when I have a different background image than the simple "zero" black background, it is a jumbled mess-- even with the alpha channel active and the video placed in the space...
Is there a way to grab the camera output from a backbuffer/memblock, then convert it to a sprite and paste the sprite to the screen in the correct location?
I am adding for DL the files I'm using, with my source code.
Please assist...

This program also will not relinquish it's resources when it quits; instead, it stalls and stops other copies of it from working AND I have to drop into Task Manager to "Stop the Process". Any suggestions?
Hoping I could get some input about any of these, above, problems.
This program is a complete rewrite of the implementation that I had, when I altered the DarkNET "Advanced Cube World" demonstration program-- I wanted to get this running
before I added in the data transfers and other network initialization code.
Please, any assistance is greatly appreciated!
