How do you set a live video feed as an OpenGL RenderTarget or framebuffer?

Question

i would like to take a live video feed from a video camera or 2 to do split screen stuff and render on top of them. How can i capture the input of the video?

i found some old code that uses pbuffers.. is this still the optimal way of doing it?

i guess their is a lot that depends on the connection interface, whether it is USB or fire wire or whatever?

thanks!

OpenCV has an abstraction layer that can handle web/video cameras.
