Greetings,
I would like to capture video w/o having to reset the card(s) with
awtv,tvtime, etc.,etc.
through X.
It can be done with mencoder so I am assuming there must be some 'trick' to
doing
it with transcoder. As claimed by a student over here the mencoder command
looks
like this:
mencoder -ffourcc XVID -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:mv0:trell:v4mv:vbitrate=3000:ildct:aspect=16/9:acodec=mp2
-tv driver=v4l2:norm=ntsc:input=2:adevice=/dev/dsp:width=720:height=480
-o /videos/test.avi tv://
Here is a command I have been using for quite a while which captures
perfectly the
way I want but still requires starting x, running tvtime (for example), then
closing x:
( $TSCODE -x v4l2,null \
-M 2 \
-i /dev/video0 \
-f 30,5 \
-y ffmpeg,null \
-R 0 \
-F mpeg4 \
-c 0-$LENGTH \
-g 640x480 \
-u 100 \
-Q 3\
-w 1500 \
--export_fps 15 \
-J
text=pos=$(($XPOS))x$(($YPOS)):points=12:notransparent:font='/usr/share/f
onts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf',\
fps=30:15:pre \
-o "$VIDEOLOCATION/video.avi" \
-I 5 \
--progress_meter 0 \
> /dev/null 2> ~/"Cam0error_log.txt" \
) &
thanks to any/all in advance for suggestions and help.
Ted
