Summary : Collection of video4linux support libraries
URL : http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html
License : LGPLv2+ and GPLv2
Description : libv4l is a collection of libraries which adds a thin abstraction layer on
: top of video4linux2 devices. The purpose of this (thin) layer is to make it
: easy for application writers to support a wide variety of devices without
: having to write separate code for different devices in the same class. libv4l
: consists of 3 different libraries: libv4lconvert, libv4l1 and libv4l2.
:
: libv4lconvert offers functions to convert from any (known) pixel-format
: to V4l2_PIX_FMT_BGR24 or V4l2_PIX_FMT_YUV420.
:
: libv4l1 offers the (deprecated) v4l1 API on top of v4l2 devices, independent
: of the drivers for those devices supporting v4l1 compatibility (which many
: v4l2 drivers do not).
:
: libv4l2 offers the v4l2 API on top of v4l2 devices, while adding for the
: application transparent libv4lconvert conversion where necessary.
