NAME
streamer - record audio and/or video
SYNOPSIS
streamer [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
streamer reads audio and/or video data
from /dev/video0 and /dev/dsp and writes the data to the disk.
Various output formats are supported. Start streamer with '-h' for
a list of options and supported output formats. streamer will use
the file extention of the output file name to figure which format
to use. You need the -f/-F options only if the extention allows
more than one format. If you get the "neither audio nor video
format specified/found" message and don't know why, you can enable
the debug output (-d switch) to see what is going on. You can
safely stop the recording at any time with Ctrl+C. streamer will
catch the signal and stop recording correctly (i.e. write movie
file headers) before exiting.
EXAMPLES
- streamer -o foobar.jpeg
- write a single jpeg file.
- streamer -o quicktime.mov -f yuv2 -F stereo -r 12 -t
0:10
- record a short quicktime movie.
