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 ;-)
Or C. OpenCV has nice examples.
For Video Capture, the external library needs to do most of the work
obviously, since this is the corner case for a scripting language.
(Even Delphi can be suboptimal depending on what you want to do
once you captured a frame)
I can say opencv worked great for me both on linux and windows
and didn't crash. Maybe you have just an unlucky combination
of drivers.

Tino
