Hi Jeffrey,

I don't understand the point of the VIDIOCCAPTURE ioctl. I expected that I would have to call it before doing a read(). But there is no need, after VIDIOCSWIN the read works anyway.

According to the v4lapi:

Merely setting the window does not enable capturing. Overlay
capturing is activatied by passing the VIDIOCCAPTURE ioctl a
value of 1, and disabled by passing it a value of 0.

So what is the function of this ioctl?

It enables video overlay, which is defined as "grabbing/capture to the
videocard's overlay framebuffer".
