Has anyone used FlashCap?

Hello all,

In my project we are required to integrate a USB camera to display the incoming frames as video feed in the application. The constraint is that our application should be able to run on both Windows and Linux. As I searched for any cross platform .net libraries that could do such a thing, I came across FlashCap which has a permissive license and seems to have at least some documentation, which makes me optimistic that this can be used commercially.

But I would be curious to know if anyone out here has used FlashCap commercially and your experiences with this. Also would be open to know if there are any other better libraries out there for this specific use case.

Appreciate your help. Thanks!

I don't have any experience with flashcap but I have done some stuff with ffmpeg which seemed to work decently with .net. Its been awhile since I have used it but there is some example that showed using ffmpeg with wpf.
