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.

    Sometimes questions here are too broad, but this one ... is probably "too narrow" to receive much helpful answers. If you dont get good answers here: try looking out for user forums for those tools. – GhostCat Jan 03 '17 at 09:19
  • @GhostCat But StackOverflow has larger QA and can get quick responses. Anyway, thanks. – Chakri Jan 03 '17 at 09:34

    I have asked more than one ffmpeg related question on the stackexchange network; and as you can conclude from my profile ... I do spent reasonable amounts of time here. And my intuition / gut feeling tells me "rather small chance for really helpful answers". Just encouraging expectations management here ;-) – GhostCat Jan 03 '17 at 09:37
