OpenCV and Kinect

I am developing a test app with Shiffman's Kinect library and am using OpenCV for blob detection. I keep seeing example code where opencv.capture() is not used. If I try that the application quits with an OpenCV error for a null pointer. Is there something in particular that I need to make sure I do?

from my (extremely) limited knowledge of the last few days of playing around:

opencv.capture(w,h) grabs stuff from the webcam. i had to use opencv.allocate( kinect.depthWidth(), kinect.depthHeight() ) and then opencv.copy( kinect.image() ) for any data from kinect to get to opencv

(also i was using simpleNI in place openkinect, but had openkinect working before that, so just find the similar calls for what u need since i cant remember exactly right now)
