static WebcamVideo.get_class_type()

WebcamVideo.get_fps(): Returns the camera’s framerate. This is a maximum theoretical: the actual performance will depend on the speed of the hardware.

static WebcamVideo.get_num_options(): Returns the number of webcam options. An “option” consists of a device plus a set of configuration parameters. For example, “Creative Webcam Live at 640x480, 30 fps” is an option.

static WebcamVideo.get_option(): Returns the nth webcam option.

WebcamVideo.get_pixel_format(): Returns the camera’s pixel format, as a FourCC code, if known.

WebcamVideo.get_size_x(): Returns the camera’s size_x.

WebcamVideo.get_size_y(): Returns the camera’s size_y.

WebcamVideo.output(): Outputs the WebcamVideo. This function simply writes the name, size and FPS to the output stream.
