libvcvideo is targeted as a super-simple cross
platform video device library. It's starting with
the most basic features and building up, all while
keeping a simple API and strong documentation for
beginners. Currently only select devices are
supported, but as more hardware becomes available
that will change. Right now it only has limited
compatibility with Linux Webcam devices that use
the original V4L specifications and output RGB24
data. This is actually a very large set of
devices, as that is the generic description for
most spca5xx and gspca devices. Though incomplete,
if you have the right device it is very simple.
Counting variable declaration, you only need four
lines of library code to get a frame from a camera.
