vgrabbj grabs a frame from the videodevice and writes it as a JPG/PNG to stdout or a file, which makes it ideal for a Web cam. It supports timestamping, can run as daemon, and shows the current settings of a video device.
Information regarding Project Releases and Project Resources. Note that the information here is a quote from Freecode.com page, and the downloads themselves may not be hosted on OSDN.
A new ability to discard (number) of frames before the actual shot is taken, a rewrite of config parser, more info on commandline errors, switchable use of temporary output file, changes in two commandline switches, improved configure to find freetype library, new DaemonSeconds in config file, and OpenOnce defaults to ON to prevent memory fragmentation.
The ability to upload an image via ftp automatically, and the ability to open a device once only for daemon mode was added. An external configfile is now available, and a bugfix in png_write (possible segfault) was fixed.
