Thanks to a generous donation, I have completed a new version of Fwink that lets you select which camera to use when you have multiple video capture devices. It also lets you use an image file as the input, instead of using a camera. Furthermore I have migrated the source code from Visual C++ 6.0 to Visual Studio 2005.
