Hi everybody!
Here's the part of c++ code that I'm using to access my webcam.

**********************************************************************
**********************************************************************
int Camera::Init(char* file_name,
char* device_name,
char* format,
char* resolution,
char* frame_rate,
char* pixel_format)
{
av_log(NULL, AV_LOG_INFO, "---INIT STARTED---\n");
avdevice_register_all();
av_register_all();

AVDictionary* properties_collection = NULL;
av_dict_set(&properties_collection, "f", format, NULL);
av_dict_set(&properties_collection, "video_size", resolution, NULL);
av_dict_set(&properties_collection, "framerate", frame_rate, NULL);
av_dict_set(&properties_collection, "pix_fmt", pixel_format, NULL);
AVInputFormat *input_format = av_find_input_format("dshow");
char command_line[256];
sprintf(command_line, "video=%s", device_name);
AVFormatContext *input_context = avformat_alloc_context();
//input_context->flags |= AVFMT_FLAG_NOBUFFER; //DOESN'T HELP
//input_context->max_picture_buffer = 0; //ERR

int err_code = 0;
err_code = avformat_open_input(&input_context,
command_line,
input_format,
&properties_collection);

//////////////////////////////////////
//////////PROBLEM SECTION/////////////
//////////////////////////////////////
int i = 0;
while (i++ < 30)
{
Sleep(1000);
//avformat_flush(input_context); //DOESN'T HELP
//av_free(input_context); //ERR
}
//////////////////////////////////////
system("pause");
return 0;
} **********************************************************************

Right after " avformat_open_input() " it starts reading frames to some internal buffer without me even calling " av_read_frame() ". After about 10 seconds it start's giving me error messages:

[dshow @ 0014ed40] real-time buffer [VirtualBox Webcam - FULL HD 1080P Webcam] [video input]
too full or near too full (62% of size: 3041280 [rtbufsize parameter])!
frame dropped!

too full or near too full (100% of size: 3041280 [rtbufsize parameter])!
frame dropped!


Q: How to clear this buffer or avoid using it?
Thanks in advance.


P.S.Please pardon my english.
P.P.S.Have a good day.
