SYNOPSIS

#include <X11/extensions/Xvlib.h>

int XvGetVideo(Display *dpy, XvPortID port, Drawable d, GC gc,

               int dx, int dy, unsigned int dw, unsigned int dh);

ARGUMENTS

dpy Specifies the connection to the X server.

port Defines the port to which video output is sent.

d Defines the drawable (window) from which video output is
to be obtained.
gc Defines the graphical context. GC components are: sub
window-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clipmask.
vx,vy,vw,vh Define the location and size of the video region is to
be written. vx and vy define the xand y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the video region; vwand vh define the width and height, in pixels, of the video region.
dx,dy,dw,dh Define the location of the source drawable from which
the video image is to be taken. dxand dy define the xand y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the drawable region; dwand dh define the width and height, in pixels, of the drawable region.

DESCRIPTION

outputs video from a drawable. The position and size of the destination rectangle is specified by vx, vy, vw, and vh. The position and size of the source rectangle is specified by dx, dy, dw, and dh.

Drawable data is clipped to the bounds of the drawable, scaled to the requested video region size (or the closest size supported) and clipped to the bounds of the video encoding. The contents of any region not updated with drawable data is undefined.

If video is successfully initiated, an XvVideoNotify event with detail XvStarted is generated for the drawable. If the port is already in use, its video is preempted, and if the new drawable is different than the old, an XvVideoNotify event with detail XvPreempted is generated for the old drawable. If the port is grabbed by another client, this request is ignored, and an XvVideoNotify event with detail XvBusy is generated for the drawable.
