Hi,

What's your platform ? I've done it on Linux using GStreamer and video4linux API.

Unfortunately, I can't release my code as it's owned by the company I work for but I can
give you some tips :-)

The only problem will be displaying the frames on the screen fast enough considering that
you get YUV data and not RGB.
