Description

Some modern webcams no longer stream in uncompressed RGB video formats.

Decompression from formats like YUV, YUY2, MJPG, etc needs to be in place to handle these cases. Once it is, the project should check the capabilities of the device and set an appropriate video format by going down a list of supported formats, starting with RGB.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research common webcam video formats (YUV, YUY2, MJPG) and how to decode them in .NET. Look into using DirectShow or MediaFoundation APIs on Windows for decompression.
