Re: Frame grabbing

Ok since you said "Please", I'll say "Yes" :)

Joke aside, since you plan to use Linux then all your code will be within
the bounds of C/C++ and I'm sure you'll be able to find a few projects
out there that have already covered things you need done, so it'll boil down
to putting everything together and getting it working.

I'm not sure if you want to use Java for this, just doesnt sound as
something
that should be done using Java but then again once you put the hardware
together and if if you have time, work on both solutions (C and Java) and
see which one works the best...
