Is there an API that can be used for commercial products that
wish to do video encoding?

i.e. what would be the easiest way for a company that produce
a FreeBSD based product to do video capture that isnt likely
to change too dramatically between versions?

(yeah I know there really hasnt been any released version with capture
 support but...:)

Thanks,
