     14  * Video capture interface. It goes hand-in-hand with PPP_VideoCapture_Dev.
     15  *
     16  * Theory of operation:
     17  * 1- Create a VideoCapture resource using Create.
     18  * 2- Find available video capture devices using EnumerateDevices.
     19  * 3- Open a video capture device. In addition to a device reference (0 can be
     20  * used to indicate the default device), you pass in the requested info
     21  * (resolution, frame rate), as well as suggest a number of buffers you will
     22  * need.
     23  * 4- Start the capture using StartCapture.
     24  * 5- Receive the OnDeviceInfo callback, in PPP_VideoCapture_Dev, which will
     25  * give you the actual capture info (the requested one is not guaranteed), as
     26  * well as an array of buffers allocated by the browser.
     27  * 6- On every frame captured by the browser, OnBufferReady (in
     28  * PPP_VideoCapture_Dev) is called with the index of the buffer from the array
     29  * containing the new frame. The buffer is now "owned" by the plugin, and the
     30  * browser won't reuse it until ReuseBuffer is called.
     31  * 7- When the plugin is done with the buffer, call ReuseBuffer.
     32  * 8- Stop the capture using StopCapture.
     33  * 9- Close the device.
     34  *
     35  * The browser may change the resolution based on the constraints of the system,
     36  * in which case OnDeviceInfo will be called again, with new buffers.
     37  *
     38  * The buffers contain the pixel data for a frame. The format is planar YUV
     39  * 4:2:0, one byte per pixel, tightly packed (width x height Y values, then
     40  * width/2 x height/2 U values, then width/2 x height/2 V values).
