Synopsis:

#include <vcapture/capture.h>
   #define capture_get_free_buffer( context,

                                    timeout,
                                   
                                    (flags) | CAPTURE_FLAG_FREE_BUFFER )

Library:

libcapture

Description:

This macro returns the index to a free buffer. Once your application populates the buffer and sets the appropriate capture properties, the client application calls capture_put_buffer() to place the capture buffer in the video capture stream. Use another thread to call capture_get_frame()) to return a processed frame (for example, the frame is scaled or deinterlaced).

Refer to capture_get_frame() for full description for this function.
