I've loocked at the sources, it seems well structured and for us it will
be beneficial becuase we'll be able
to support V4L2 which we already support and V4L anf firewire cams
which we don't support and there is plugin architecture whic opens a way
for various
extensions and enchancements.
Even if the original author is not very actif for us it'll good enough
The API is very simple so the lack of the doc is not an obstacle

Hello,

I suggest we use this stuff: http://datafloater.de/unicap/
for video capture on Linux
I'm not qualified enough to debate on the technical aspect, but there
are a few things that i'd like to point out.
First, the last entry in the ChangeLog available here :
http://datafloater.de/unicap/ChangeLog is a bit old.
Then, on the download page, we can read :
"*Note:* The CVS repository is currently screwed, the code there is
outdated and will not compile. The repository will not be updated
until I find a way to make use of it even if I am not connected to the
net most of the time."
which can be a bot annoying. Maybe we could suggest him to use a
decentralized SCM system, like darcs or Mercurial, even if i think the
author is well aware of the existence of such tools.
The News section has not been updated for a long time too. However,
the "Activity percentile" for last week on SourceForge is very good :
99% (see here *http://sourceforge.net/projects/unicap), which means
that there is some significant work done on a regular basis.*
The documentation section is a bit incomplete (but maybe the API is
simple enough to be usable without any documentation) and the roadmap
stops on September 2005.
Vadim, do you know if the project is still alive ?
All the best,
