  For developers, 
 <a href="http://lwn.net">LWN.net</a> 
is writing a 
<a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/203924/">V4L2 series of articles</a>
focusing at the development of a Linux V4L2 driver. 
</p>
<p>
  There's a new V4L Drivers guide at 
   <a href="http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/v4l2dwgNew.html">here</a>.
<br>
  PS.: This is a newer document and might be suject to some errors. Contributions are wanted. Also notice that the main guide shall always be V4L API2.
</p>
<p>
  Video4Linux API version 1 is obsolete. Driver and application 
developers are requested to migrate their work to V4L2 API.
<br>
There's an effort in course to remove its support from 
the drivers, keeping just a conversion module for keeping 
compatibility for the old binary-only V4L1 applications.</p>
