Reading Output from a USB Camera on ROS Windows
I am a ROS beginner so I apologize if this is an extremely elementary question.
I am using Allied Vision Mako U-130b cameras for capturing a live video feed and trying to integrate it in ROS Melodic on Windows. I think what I want to do is publish my video on imagepipeline as an **imageraw** topic. I went crazy digging through tutorials and have tried installing three different packages (libuvcros, usbcam, and cvcamera), while only seeing success in building cvcamera and launching its nodes. usb_cam will, as an example, not build due to several issues such as
No package 'libavcodec' found'.
My basic question is this: What is a good way to obtain an image or video from my usb cameras in a way that I can see it and send it to other nodes for processing, on ROS for Windows?
Thanks for the help.
Edit: I am using a ROS Melodic for Windows 10 build http://wiki.ros.org/Installation/Windows

Could you please be specific which approach you're using for "ROS on Windows"? Are you using WSL, or an actual ROS Melodic for Windows10 build from MS?
