frames from a video4linux device. This value can be used with, for example,
motion.
Supported hardware

Originally this tool used the colorconversion library by smcc but as it is no longer available from that site, I've included it in this release.
Changes

0.3 optimized for speed, made a couple of parameters configurable
0.2 included the colorconversion library in the tarball
0.1 initial release
