<pre wrap=""><!---->Video capture does not capture streams. Videocapture only grabs single
frames. It is usefull for webcam for example where the app grabs a
picture every minute or every second or whatever you want. You can also
grabs picture at a higher rate than the video stream, doubling or
tripling source frames.

I'm not sure I understand the distinction. For example, if I pipeline
a series of camera images<br>
at the desired frame rate into a component that converts a sequences of
frames into a video<br>
stream, then I achieve the desired result right?<br>
<br>
I imagine that the video streaming component would surely be very
portable, but the video<br>
capture would tend to be O/S and hardware specific. <br>
<br>
Maybe what the world needs is a set of webcam drivers wrapped up into a
single platform-<br>
independent PIL compatible python module, that could then be wrapped
into a Kamelia<br>
component. Anyone else interested in such a project? I can't believe
such a thing doesn't<br>
already exist.<br>
