Create_capture video compression

Hello All,

I am new to the OpenCV world and have been playing around with face tracking and other image manipulation. The project I am currently working on is an augmented reality/wearable targeting system.

I am trying to run this on my Raspberry Pi but have encountered some problems with frame rate and the CPU is running through the roof.

I was wondering if there is a way to change the compression format of what I am getting from my webcam to get better performance.

As I am pretty new at this any information anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
