Gqcam 0.9

Gqcam is a Linux clone of the QuickPict software that comes with the QuickCam. Originally it was written using GTK+ for the frontend, Alex Belits qcread for the backend, and a bunch of C to tie it all together.
It still uses GTK+ for the frontend, but as of version 0.2 it uses the Video4Linux interface as a backend. To compile it you will need GTK+, a Quickcam (one of the old greyscale parallel port ones), and a computer running Linux with Video4Linux support for the Quickcam compiled in or as a module.
It is currently fairly early in development, and now works with both the color and greyscale QuickCam. No, that doesnt include the QuickCam VC or any other ones (that I know of). Unfortunatly, Logitech/Connectix dont want to let us know how their new cameras work..
Main features:
- Brightness Control
- White Balance Control
- Contrast Control
- 3 Size Settings
- 2 Depth Settings
- Freeze Picture
- Snap Picture (saves in png, ppm and jpeg format)
- Command-line interface (good for webcam use)
- Snapping on a timer
- Support for the greyscale and color Quickcam, as well as CPiA based cameras and most any other driver that supports the read() command
