This appears to be an issue seen by others. Two cameras on one hub max out the bus; even USB3.0. The simple fix is to make sure that each camera is on it's own USB bus. Confirm this in the device manager; sort by connection.

Thanks FooBar for the hint on what it could be. Not sure why 2 different brand cameras work on the same bus??? Oh well.

Is there a way to pick the camera by a means other than some integer value that windows assigned?

They are connected to the same external hub, in fact all three are. No error messages.

VideoCapture rightEye;
rightEye.open(i);

I iterate through 0-9 in a for loop.

I am trying to play around with a stereo camera rig I built. Both cameras are exactly the same, 2.0MP ELP brand. It uses the USB Video Class (UVC) 1.1 driver. Both cameras are tested and working. I can open them individually in a simple opencv c++ program. The stereo program i wrote works with one ELP camera and my Logitech webcam. (and that's with all three USB cameras connected to the pc.)
