+long_desc="
+ v4l-utils is a collection of various video4linux (V4L) and DVB utilities.
+
+ libv4l is an accompanying collection of libraries that adds a thin abstraction
+ layer on top of video4linux2 (V4L2) devices. The purpose of this layer is to
+ make it easy for application writers to support a wide variety of devices
+ without having to write separate code for different devices in the same class.
+ It consists of 3 different libraries. libv4lconvert offers functions to convert
+ from any (known) pixel format to V4l2_PIX_FMT_BGR24 or V4l2_PIX_FMT_YUV420.
+ 
+ libv4l1 offers the (deprecated) v4l1 API on top of v4l2 devices, independent
+ of the drivers for those devices supporting v4l1 compatibility (which many
+ v4l2 drivers do not).
+
+ libv4l2 offers the v4l2 API on top of v4l2 devices, while adding support for
+ the application transparent libv4lconvert conversion where necessary."
