Multi-threaded video capture fixes OpenCV's standard blocking I/O bottleneck for Python pipelines.

Strengths
  • •Multi-threaded capture pipelines effectively bypass Python's global GIL limitations for real-time frames.
  • •Unified API cleanly abstracts away FFmpeg, OpenCV, and network stream handling complexity.
  • •Native asynchronous support enables non-blocking video streams alongside multi-threaded capture modes.
Weaknesses
  • •Title claims Pure-Python, but speed relies on external C++ binaries like FFmpeg.
  • •Documentation site visual design looks dated compared to modern Sphinx or MkDocs standards.
