i jst got the optitarck and i'm starting to fool around with it a bit. i got it running with a simple program that just sets up the basics and enters an infinite loop that just gets a frame, coutns the number of valid objects and frees the frame. the problem is that it seems to be leakig memory somewhere, because when i run it and check the task manager, the memory assigned to the process keeps increasing all the time there's a frame available (when the satus light is on). it grows at about 80k/sec, and obviously after some tie it breaks.
so, i'm not doing anything out of the ordinary, just calling the camera->getframe method and then frame->free, but i get a leak all the same. is this a known issue? any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

To the best of our knowledge, the sample applications included with the OptiTrack SDK do not have any memory leaks so they should be a good reference for the correct procedure and handling of the tracking data (to avoid memory leaks).

Make sure that you free the memory after each cycle. I just field tested a prototype last evening and it worked fine. The application appears to be stable. Checking for memory overloading, cascading, etc. did not indicate a leak.
