XvGetVideo - capture video from a drawable
#include <X11/extensions/Xvlib.h>
int XvGetVideo(Display *dpy, XvPortID port, Drawable d, GC gc,
int vx, int vy, unsigned int vw, unsigned int vh,
int dx, int dy, unsigned int dw, unsigned int dh);
- dpy
- Specifies the connection to the X server.
- port
- Defines the port to which video output is sent.
- d
- Defines the drawable (window) from which video output is to be
obtained.
- gc
- Defines the graphical context. GC components are: subwindow-mode,
clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
- vx,vy,vw,vh
- Define the location and size of the video region is to be written.
vx and vy define the xand y coordinates of the
upper-left corner of the video region; vwand vh define the
width and height, in pixels, of the video region.
- dx,dy,dw,dh
- Define the location of the source drawable from which the video image is
to be taken. dxand dy define the xand y
coordinates of the upper-left corner of the drawable region; dwand
dh define the width and height, in pixels, of the drawable
region.
outputs video from a drawable. The position and size of the destination
rectangle is specified by vx, vy, vw, and vh. The
position and size of the source rectangle is specified by dx,
dy, dw, and dh.
Drawable data is clipped to the bounds of the drawable, scaled to
the requested video region size (or the closest size supported) and clipped
to the bounds of the video encoding. The contents of any region not updated
with drawable data is undefined.
If video is successfully initiated, an XvVideoNotify event with
detail XvStarted is generated for the drawable. If the port is already in
use, its video is preempted, and if the new drawable is different than the
old, an XvVideoNotify event with detail XvPreempted is generated for the old
drawable. If the port is grabbed by another client, this request is ignored,
and an XvVideoNotify event with detail XvBusy is generated for the
drawable.
