python pygame.camera.init() NO vidcapture
camera, pygame, python, usb, webcam
Solution
I met the same problem. The error info of "ImportError: No module named vidcap" indicates that python interpreter didn't find the vidcap module on you machine.
so you'd better follow these steps.
- Download the vidcap from http://videocapture.sourceforge.net/
2.Then copy the corresponding version of dll (which named "vidcap.pyd" in VideoCapture-0.9-5\VideoCapture-0.9-5\Python27\DLLs) to "your python path"\DLLs\ .
3.restart you script.
Done!.
