has anyone got video capturing (from a webcam) successful running

I got some links, but it seems quit complicated to get everything
installed,
and all the packages you need don't describe which versions of the other
parts you need,
so a lot trial and error I expect.
What packages have you tried?
videocapture
webcamwatcher
opencv
libvidcap
hdpvrassistent
they didn't run at all or they crashed within 10 seconds :-(
The most promissing looks videocapture, but that also crashes within 10
seconds.
Video capture is not a trivial task.
to be more exactly, I think you mean "it's not a trival task in Python"
I just created a Delphi project to select a video device, show the cam
image on the screen and store the movie in a file:
- less than 10 lines of code,
- less than 10 minutes of work
and the program looks rock stable !
So for this project I'll probably go back to Delphi ;-)
thanks,

There is a lot to do, although most
of it is boilerplate that you will reuse from app to app.
