USB Video Camera Support

[synssins]

OpenCV can support USB video cameras that are supported natively by the Raspbian OS. dride should also be able to support external USB cameras for the homebrew crowd as long as said camera is supported in Linux and variants.

Hi @synssins, thank you for posting your question here,
We use a very tight integration with the PiCamera and because of that this change is not trivial, We do have plan to allow that in the future. In the meantime this is the relevant file in charge of the video input if anyone want's to give it a try: PiVideoStream.py

+1 on this.. .py link seems to be dead. :-(

Thankfully a lot of things changed since the original post, The needed file is now record.js if anyone is interested in implementing this..
