Title: features for video streams from webcams
Post by: nar6du14 on October 09, 2012, 04:48:18 am

Hello, I'm new in this SFML world
It is a good work here and I hope it will be grown forever  :)

Now my question is: is there some ways to provide classes and functions to work with video streams provided by webcams?  I think that, a good multimedia application have to work with the 3 essentials medias:

1*)  data streams  ----> text, movies files etc...
2*)  video stream  ----> provide by webcam, some video capturing devices, realtime video streams etc...
3*) audio stream   ---> audio streams from microphone etc...

actually 1*) and 3*) are easy to implement with SFML but what about 2*) ???
thanks

SFML is (and will stay) "basic", if you want to play with your webcam, you can "plug" OpenCV.
