given how well libfg matches your requirements, it might help to know why
it's not useful in your case.

well wht can i say it simply refuses to compile...i m getting make
errors. i think the culprit is the gcc-4.0..secondly i havent had a
chance to really try it out..aneways does libfg manipulate inputs from
webcams..like VideoCapture modules ..also i think libfg is mainly for C
although a module for python exists..forgive me i m a real newbie..

So it's far from not being useful. And a pure python video capture lib is
unlikely to happen - for various reasons, not the least being that there
are plenty of data to shuffle around in video grabbing. So - that _is_ a
C-domain.

I suggest you try getting libfg to run, probably by using you distro's
package management.

ok..i'll check with that...but wait libfg binaries arent available in
any software repos..and Diez, I would like to mention that there is a
VideoCapture lib exclusively for python..(only that its for win32)..

So - that _is_ a
C-domain.

So can i kinda embed that code into C using the libraries that are
available..plz guyz any links would be appreciated
