Hi,


I want to create an application for capturing video from a webcam or other kind of cams who can capture images and send them to a computer and shows them in the screen in real time, and handle them with OpenGL and DirectX with C++


I’ve made something yet with a usb web cam and it works, but I would like the application works for others kinds of cameras, like those who use firewire ports to transmit the video.


What are all the standards for this kind of devices? and, how many kind of API’s exist for those stardards?

Thanks
