prompt to save acquired image to an avi file

[bloodxrage]

Hi there,

i am trying out with the vision acquisition software and i have succeded in acquiring image from my webcam and store it in an existing avi file but the problem is whenever i run the vi again it will overwrite the existing avi file. Is is possible to create a new avi file everytime i stop and run the program again?

Thanks

Use a file dialog prompt that only lets you create new files.

Possibly use code that detects if the filename already exists and it loops back to allow the user to select a new filename.
