capture video from camera

[aljosa]

i searched on google and found http://videocapture.sourceforge.net/
before i posted here.
videocapture has no docs and doesn't provide additional options like
motion detection nor any info on possibility of motion detection or
howto implement (use of minimal system resources).

i posted here to find out if anybody knows a better way to capture
video.
