--- Comment #3 from James Luscher jluscher@gmail.com --- Further research shows Cura makes use of a Python VideoCapture module for windows documented at: http://videocapture.sourceforge.net/
The comments for videocapture refer to this Windows tech:
"The low-level module uses DirectShow which is already included in DirectX 8.0 and higher."
(perhaps this is useful?)
