int init_bttv_camera
(
	Bttv_camera **my_camera,
	int width,
	int height,
	char *camera_id,
	char *machine,
	char *device,
	int usd
);

DESCRIPTION

This routine inits the internal structures needed to query the bttv camera identified by camera_number, and sets the camera resolution to width and height. The code looks for the camera device in 'device', usually being '/dev/videoN', where N is an integer. The device files should have the correct permissions set. In general, it is better to initialize the cameras using init_bttv_camera_from_config_file

RETURNS

On error, this routine returns ERROR, otherwise, NO_ERROR.

Bttv_camera, get_image_from_bttv_camera, display_cameras_opengl, init_bttv_camera_from_config_file

DISCLAIMER
