Open Source Video Capture Software

libdc1394 is a library that provides a high level programming interface for application developers who wish to control and capture streams from IEEE 1394 based cameras that conform to the 1394-based Digital Camera Specifications (also known as the IIDC or DCAM Specifications). libdc1394 also supports some USB cameras that are IIDC compliant. Besides capture and control, libdc1394 provides a full set of colour space conversion functions (including RAW decoding), vendor specific functions and direct camera register access. Keywords: ieee1394, IIDC, DCAM, firewire, USB, machine vision, computer vision, video capture, library

Do you worry if Fraps (or other computer video capture tool) is giving you accurate colors? Do you wish you had some kind of standard, recordable (DirectX 9) source with known colors? Well, you're in luck, that's just what this is. **NOTE: monitor calibration software is known to alter capture colors** See the first screenshot for a guide to what's in this test pattern. It also includes some rare & unusual utilities; see below.

The mintyMac Star Studio Linux Distro is what we have all been waiting for from Linux and that is to really compete with OSX and Windows when it comes to Video viewing, streaming, converting and saving to file easily from yes, a Capture Card.
