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