Hello guys,

Right now I am digging deeper and deeper into this fantastic world of openCV. For an application, I've written a small function to determine the amount of cameras, connected to the computer. On OS X (Macbook Pro 2007, 1.7 Lion) everything works as expected.

Here's the little function:

int detectNumAttachedCvCameras()
{
    int number = 0;
    while (true)
    {
        VideoCapture cap;
        cap.open(number);
        if (!cap.isOpened())
        {
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            number++;
            cap.release();
        }
    }
    return number;
}

The function detects the internal iSight camera, a connected logitech usb camera and a ptgrey firewire 400 camera. However, when running on a Windows 7 (x64) machine things get strange. Without any camera connected, the function returns the expected value zero. With the usb camera connected, the function detects the camera and continues looping until the number 100 has been reached. The PC doesn't have a firewire card, so I wasn't able to take this one into account.

Here are some facts about both machines:

Macbook Pro, 2007: 10.7 Lion, OpenCV 2.4.3_1 (macports) +dc1394 +qt4 +universal

PC: Windows 7 x64, OpenCV 2.4.3 (git Merge release 2.4.3)with the following cmake flags:
