webcam

I'm trying to use opencv (cv2) to stream a webcam feed into a pygame surface object. The problem is the colors aren't displaying correctly. I think it is the type casting, but I'm having trouble understanding the pygame surface documentation to know what it expects.

So I installed the latest Windows SDK but it seems that it doesn't include DirectShow because there are no DirectShow samples under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows . (The stackoverflow answers are also pretty old - dated around 2010) Can you

I am trying to stream video and audio from my webcam connected to my headless Ubuntu server (running Maverick 10.10). I want to be able to stream in WebM format (VP8 video + OGG).

I am able to record WebM video from the webcam with the following: ffmpeg -s 640x360 \ -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -isync -vcodec libvpx -vb 768000 -r 10 -vsync 1 \ -f alsa -ac 1 -i hw:1,0 -acodec libvorbis -ab 32000 -ar 11025 \ -f webm /var/www/telemed/test.webm However despite experimenting with all manner of vsync and async
