program captures images and movies on a Sony VAIO picturebook PCG-C1XS, taking
advantage of the built in CCD camera and hardware JPEG encoder. It
features PPM capture, JPEG capture (hardware JPEG), AVI capture of
MJPEG, MJPEG capture of separate frames (for MPEG encoding),
setting of brightness/contrast/etc., and a 1:4 sub-sampling option.
