How to capture video and audio from camera/webcamera with Xuggle?

I found out abut Xuggle yesterday and let me first say that it is an amazing thing. I run through all of video and text tutorials.

My first problem was to programatically record desktop of computer and I solved this this way.

Now I need something different. I need to capture both audio and video from my camera/webcam and put it into one container.

I would like something like:

  1. App detects all cameras that are plugged in
  2. I choose from which one of them I want to capture audio and video
  3. Encode that audio and video into one container

Question: What would be a good starting point or even better if someone has some example code?

Solution

  • As Xuggler author told me, Xuggler lacks good support for capturing video from camera and it is not in it's list of priorities.

    My solution is to use vlcj.
