VideoCapture-0.8
================

URL:
----
http://videocapture.sourceforge.net/

What it is:
-----------
VideoCapture is a Python extension for Win32 which makes it possible
to access video-capture devices (e.g. a USB webcam, a TV-card, ...).

What is new in version 0.8:
---------------------------
*) Added module documentation.

*) Moved project to SourceForge.net.

*) Included a precompiled binary of the low level module linked
    against Python 2.3.

*) Incorporated stand-alone webservers from Don Garrett and Don Kimber
    (Tools\3rdParty).  The pushserver from Don Kimber is quite
    interesting.  Now I can watch TV in a Mozilla window with 25 fps

*) Added setResolution() method contributed by Don Kimber.  (Probably
    works only on devices which have the resolution specified in the
    CapturePinProperties.)

*) Don Kimber fixed a small but serious inconsistency in
    displayCapturePinProperties() with sometimes resulted in a
    seg-fault.

Enjoy, Markus
