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 :

#include <libavcodec/avcodec.h>
#include <libavformat/avformat.h>
#include <libswscale/swscale.h>

#include <stdio.h>

  int  y;

  // Open file
  sprintf(szFilename, "frame%d.ppm", iFrame);
  pFile=fopen(szFilename, "wb");
  if(pFile==NULL)
    return;

  // Write header
  fprintf(pFile, "P6\n%d %d\n255\n", width, height);

  // Write pixel data
  for(y=0; y<height; y++)
    fwrite(pFrame->data[0]+y*pFrame->linesize[0], 1, width*3, pFile);

  // Close file
  fclose(pFile);
}
