avs window handle
so i've created a nice vvvv patch what can mix together 2 instances of avs with a fast and informative gui etc etc. the thing is that using 2 streams by the freeframe version extremely slows down the machine (output fps won't get higher than 30 fps and 15-20 fps is the average) so i switched from the freeframe plugin to the screenshot node (what takes a screenshot of a window of the given handle) the problem is that all avs windows has the same handles so i can capture just one at the same time. now comes the noob question: is there a way to change the handle of avs's window? and if i have to dig into the source code which part of it have to be changed?

as DrO pointed out before, the problem is getting avs compiled again. otherwise i'd start by searching the source-code for the handle?

yep i know the compiling part would be painful. i asked it on the vvvv forums too they say the handles would be different just vvvv cannot return separate handles on windows with the same title. so i found a little utility what tells the exact handle of a window or its parts and i set it in vvvv manually. so it's working now.:D
