Several problems of OpenCV1.2

Hi, All:

OpenCV 1.2 is out. However, it
1) relies on videoInput, which seems not to be a full open source
2) ffopencv.cpp is just for Linux or MinGW... I'm wondering if there is a pure Windows Visual Studio version?
3) If FFMPEG is relied, there seems to be no point to continue using img_convert any longer. This is not a bug because it's just conditional compilation, but I'd suggest totally removing img_convert.

Best Regards
JIA

videoInput is open-source library and, so far, the best tool that is available to grab video from DirectShow-compatible devices on Windows.
If you know of some better alternatives, please, let us know.

ffopencv can be built within Visual Studio (only on 32-bit Windows for now).
FFMPEG can not be compiled with Visual Studio, as far as I know, thus we have to compile it with MinGW. But OpenCV comes with precompiled ffmpeg binaries, so I do not think it is a problem (unless you are using 64-bit Windows)
 
3) If FFMPEG is relied, there seems to be no point to continue using img_convert any longer. This is not a bug because it's just conditional compilation, but I'd suggest totally removing img_convert.

I would argue with that. This additional support for older ffmpeg versions does not do any harm. I would retain it. Besides, if you look here, for example: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20090807.105829.ddb67ca3.fr.html
you will see that libswscale may impose some issues in terms of licensing.
So some people may prefer to use an older version of ffmpeg with img_convert embedded.
