Seeshark 5
For SeeShark 5, I chose to completely rewrite the entire thing.
Having to deal with FFmpeg setup is becoming tiring. Some missing features meant that I had to write interop code for each OS anyway, and since I'm always tied to a specific version of it, it's also not very flexible. So I decided it's best to not use FFmpeg at all, and to instead use the OS APIs directly. That way SeeShark even has a chance to be somewhat done at some point in the future. At the very least, it'll be easier to maintain, with no external dependencies, and the only things to care about being OS API changes and .NET version updates.
As a side note, since this is where SeeShark is going, I might decide to add support for retrieving audio in the future. There's something to be done both for cameras and displays.
