I am new in video domain . I am working now on ffmpeg , I use ffmpeg command line but there is very big issue and challenge for use ffmpeg in my own c code .So I read some tutorials like dranger.com etc . But I am not able to capture v4l2 or my laptop /dev/video0 node . I want capture raw video stream and overlay it with some text and then compress it in jpeg format . I have a little idea and that is in following code that code is working for ant .mp4 format or encoded file but not work on /dev/video0 node format . so please any one help me . Thanks in advance !!
please see following code snapshot that is a tutorial1.c from dranger.com :
