V4L2 can start and stop video streaming at any time. All you have to do is initialise the device (allocate buffers, set the video format, ...), and start streaming when you need an image. You can stop streaming right after getting the data, and start again later when required by your application. > Perhaps I should join the v4l dev mailing list and see what their > thoughts are. Your input is appreciated.
