Hello,

Given the well-known unstability history of ffmpeg, may I suggest you
look into libvidcap or mediastreamer2 (from LinPhone) ? Both are
cross-platform, small and mostly autocontained (save for optional
features)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/libvidcap/

http://www.linphone.org/
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/linphone.git/tree/linphone/mediastreamer2

There is GStreamer, too, but it's so difficult to build it on Windows,
I suggest not touching it with a 10-foot pole. Not to speak of the
problems when your Qt is not built with the glib event loop.
