Video4Linux

Video4Linux provides the video capture and overlay facilities in Linux 2.2 and 2.4. New video capture devices and digital TV cards have additional demands. How the Video4Linux interface works and how to write a good driver will be covered. We will then cover the features of the 2.4 kernel and the sections of Video4Linux2 that are required to extend the API for the future.
