TkV4Lng Video Capture Widget
     
 
 
 
Tcl Powered   This is an early version of a Tcl/Tk widget for video capture and display using Video for Linux supported webcams and frame grabbers. It is based on a modified version of the new grabber library (libng) from XAWTV 4.x.

The widget has been tested on Debian and Fedora x86/x86_64 Linux with various Bt878 cards and USB webcams, it even runs on a Nokia N800 internet tablet as shown in the screenshot below.

Starting with version 0.5 the widget tries to use the Xv extension to allow full scaling of the grabbed image.
