I downloaded .dsp and .dsw from the cvs source .Now
i am able to compile it.

Is it portable to linux also?if it is portable,which
driver is used?

Good.

No, there is code for V4L2, but it is not nearly complete. It kinda'
works for one particular usb camera I have, but for any other camera
conversion routines must be written to convert from their format to
32bit RGB for wxImages. I do not plan to spend any time on it in the
near future.

Hi

Conversion routine can be easily done,i think.I want to know,will it detect
all camera in Linux?.
Can I read data from all types of camera?
If i am able to read the data,then i can write the convertion routine in the
application level,Right.
Wxvidcap is a great work.....
Thanks a lot
Ram

For Dorgem3 (that completely relies on wxVidCap) I have an alpha version 
for Win32 that does some basic jobs. I will try to compile it on my 
Ubuntu Linux and see how far I come with wxVidCap and my Q-Tec camera. 
Linux is quite new to me, so it will take some time to get it compiled. 
And I use the wxImage functions so there still is work to be done.

Frank

I should mention that you'll probably notice that there is a base
class that tries to encapsulate the common functions of VFW and V4L2.
Since I never really got V4L2 ironed out some things might not make
sense since I'm sure that some reorganization is necessary.
