I've been struggling to find the spec for the video sources that the VideoCapture module can see under Windows. Please confirm WDM only.

I remember you posting that Magic supported the "latest" Windows standard, but it took me a while to find any references at all and I still haven't found a definitive statement.

The underlying system for the VideoCapture module is called "Media Foundation". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Foundation and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... s.85).aspx. I'm not sure if there's an exact list of supported capture devices anywhere; it's more that a device maker would just have to support Media Foundation in its drivers.
