Please be so kind to not only post code, but to point out your system, configuration, where the problem arises. I mean this is an example of a bad question structure. Nevertheless I will have a look at your problem.

Basically your problem is that you are storing the image within a time stamp of seconds. However, the processing processes multiple image frames within a second, overwriting your frame each time.

You have to create a unique timestamp. You can do this by adding a counter that increases with each write and adds a value at the end of your filename OR you could go down to millisecond level by using the tics functionality.

clock_t time;
time= clock();
double result = (float)time)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;

This will output values like 0.022 for example. Multiply it with 1000 and you have a unique number combined with the second value you already reached before.

this is right???

clock_t time;

time= clock();

double result = (float)time/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;

sprintf(file,"%s%d%d%d_%d%d%d%d%d.jpg\n","D:/Projects/vs2010/text11/", tm.tm_year + 1900, tm.tm_mon + 1, tm.tm_mday, tm.tm_hour, tm.tm_min, tm.tm_sec,counter );

counter++;

To your first question, no I will not give you the complete code. Please if you want to learn something, put some effort in it... About the second comment, what you doing now is creating a counter AND using the time constant. However, you should only use one of them. The counter could be enough just don't forget to give it a initial value of 0.

I try it , but it does not meet my needs, can you give me your email so that I would like to ask you more in-depth

No :) This is the place for you to work, I will not spread around my email adress just because you need help, nor will I reply by mail if you contact me one way or the other. Read again all posts I have made, I have literally served you the solution multiple times....
