An interesting excerpt:
"As for video input devices, there is an active Linux developer
community in this area, but they seem to be hampered by a different
development model (Mecurial trees outside of the main kernel source),
and a lack of full-time developers, not to mention a high degree of
inter-personal conflicts that seem quite strange to outsiders. Support
for a large majority of these devices is slowly trickling into the main
kernel tree, the most important being the USB Video class driver, which
will support almost all new USB video devices in the future, thereby
removing the major problem most users will face when purchasing a new
video device".
***
I agree. With the future inclusion of USB Video class driver,
V4L will get a boost by supporting many yet not officialy supported
devices (lots of webcams for instance). Of course they bring new
challenges, but it will be a good thing, I think.
Thanks everybody for the great work.
