FCapture is a previewer (and a eventually a recorder) software for generic (off-brand) USB capture cards. FCapture is made entirely using Electron and a native web APIs. This app is meant for the people that doesn't want to use a third-party software such as OBS or VLC just to preview the capture card's video output. (I know that with OBS you can record your gameplay, but some folks just want to play and OBS is a little overkill for that)
My goal with this app is to make an open-source alternative for anyone to use.
- Preview video from generic USB capture cards (and possibly PCI-E ones)
- An extensive Settings menu with video and audio filters, different video and audio modes (change stream output quality/resolution) and more
- Take screenshots of your gameplay/output at any time
- Since this is an Electron app, multiplaform support is also present with FCapture. The app can run on macOS, Linux and Windows
