Video capture does not capture streams. Videocapture only grabs single frames. It is usefull for webcam for example where the app grabs a picture every minute or every second or whatever you want. You can also grabs picture at a higher rate than the video stream, doubling or tripling source frames.

I'm not sure I understand the distinction. For example, if I pipeline a series of camera images at the desired frame rate into a component that converts a sequences of frames into a video
stream, then I achieve the desired result right?

I imagine that the video streaming component would surely be very portable, but the video capture would tend to be O/S and hardware specific. Maybe what the world needs is a set of webcam drivers wrapped up into a single platform- independent PIL compatible python module, that could then be wrapped into a Kamelia component. Anyone else interested in such a project? I can't believe such a thing doesn't
already exist.
