I'm working on my academic project in which I've to record a video from the webcam.
In my google search, I've found that FFmpeg uses pipelining to record the video from the camera while OpenCV, AVbin use ctypes.
I don't know the pros and cons of either method, and wonder if you can help me decide which one to choose to write such kind of program in Linux.
I need to record 1024x768 30hz video and not experience latency/lag issues. Performance is the high priority.
