Introduction
============
python-v4l2capture is a slim and easy to use Python extension for
capturing video with video4linux2. It supports libv4l to convert any
image format to RGB or YUV420.
this fork of python-v4l2capture: https://github.com/gebart/python-v4l2capture
original python-v4l2capture: http://fredrik.jemla.eu/v4l2capture
libv4l: http://freshmeat.net/projects/libv4l
Installation
============
v4l2capture requires libv4l by default. You can compile v4l2capture
without libv4l, but that reduces image format support to YUYV input
and RGB output only. You can do so by erasing ', libraries = ["v4l2"]'
in setup.py and erasing '#define USE_LIBV4L' in v4l2capture.c.
python-v4l2capture uses distutils.
To build: ./setup.py build
To build and install: ./setup.py install
Example
=======
See capture_picture.py, capture_picture_delayed.py and list_devices.py.
Change log
==========
(see git log for latest changes)
1.4 (2011-03-18) - Added support for YUV420 output.
1.3 (2010-07-21) - Added set of capabilities to the return value of
get_info. Updated list_devices.py.
1.2 (2010-04-01) - Forked example script into capture_picture.py and
capture_picture_delayed.py.
1.1 (2009-11-03) - Updated URL and documentation.
1.0 (2009-02-28) - Initial release.

Introduction
============
python-v4l2capture is a slim and easy to use Python extension for
capturing video with video4linux2. It supports libv4l to convert any
image format to RGB or YUV420.
this fork of python-v4l2capture: https://github.com/gebart/python-v4l2capture
original python-v4l2capture: http://fredrik.jemla.eu/v4l2capture
libv4l: http://freshmeat.net/projects/libv4l
Installation
============
v4l2capture requires libv4l by default. You can compile v4l2capture
without libv4l, but that reduces image format support to YUYV input
and RGB output only. You can do so by erasing ', libraries = ["v4l2"]'
in setup.py and erasing '#define USE_LIBV4L' in v4l2capture.c.
python-v4l2capture uses distutils.
To build: ./setup.py build
To build and install: ./setup.py install
Example
=======
See capture_picture.py, capture_picture_delayed.py and list_devices.py.
