== History == V4L had been introduced late into the 2.1.X development cycle of the Linux kernel. Retroactively being renamed to V4L1, it was dropped in kernel 2.6.38.<ref>{{Cite web |title=gspca - LinuxTVWiki |url=https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Gspca |access-date=2024-01-12 |website=[[LinuxTV]]}}</ref> V4L2 is the second version of V4L. Video4Linux2 fixed some design bugs and started appearing in the 2.5.x kernels. Video4Linux2 drivers include a compatibility mode for Video4Linux1 applications, though the support can be incomplete and it is recommended to use Video4Linux1 devices in V4L2 mode. The project DVB-Wiki is now hosted on [[LinuxTV]] web site.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schimek |first=Michael H |title=Video for Linux Two API Specification |url=https://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/legacy/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html |access-date=2024-01-12 |website=[[LinuxTV]]}}</ref> Some programs support V4L2 through the [[media resource locator]] <code>v4l2://</code>.
