If you want pure C, remove the tag C++. If you want C or C++, add C++ to the title, otherwise your question is confusing.
Please explain on what level do you want to do the capture. What do you want to use?

sorry for the confusion... actually i'm trying to capture images from a usb webcam on my pc... i'm working on stereo vision and currently implementing my algorithm on pc... but eventually i will be implementing it on a microprocessor because we will be using it on an autonomous ground robot...
