Hi. Seems that you haven't a question about VIDIOCGMBUF, but something about what to do with your frames. What do you want to do with them ? When do you want to use them ? Realtime ? Later processing ? Stick with the jpeglib to single images, there are plenty of examples with it over the internet. I have some, if you want, just drop a line. After messing with it, I think you will fix a direction to work. There are plenty of aplications doing good frame rates even recording frame by frame.
