Which API for new application?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

I'm completely new to v4l but hope to use it for an app that needs
low-latency, field rate video capture. (This will probably be with
bttv on a bt878, but if you think there's a more appropriate
driver/hardware combo please let me know.)  If all goes well it
should work decently within a matter of weeks and from then on it
will be extended and maintained for a few years (tracking
state-of-the-art PC hardware).

What do you think would be the right API to choose in this case, v4l
or v4l2?  The app could of course be ported at some point from v4l to
v4l2, but I don't oversee the problems this might present...

I'd much appreciate your thoughts on this...  Thanks!
