(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I was wondering if someone could point me to a video capture program what would allow me to record from my video capture card. I got my capture card to work with VLC player but would be able to record with it.

Thanks.

most pups already come with ffmpeg, and you already have vlc?
what exactly _is_ your question

please don't beat around the bush - if you want to record video and audio in format X and are comfortable with the command line, say so

if you need a gui -state as such

and btw - noone knows what kind of video capture card you have.

If it is just you cant figure out how to get vlc to record try this site

Sorry, I thought I was being pretty straight foward. The question is, What is a good program that I can use to record from my video capture card? It is an EasyCap USB card.

Since I am living in the the 21st Century, I prefer to have something with a GUI. NO, I am not really looking to use VLC Player.

if you able to see video using vlc...
then try this on terminal...

ffmpeg -y -f oss -i /dev/dsp -itsoffset 1 -acodec mp2 -ab 64k -ar 44100 -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -r 15 -qscale 5 -vc 1 -tvstd PAL-DK -i /dev/video0 -sws_flags bicubic -ss 00:00:03 -t 00:00:15 -f avi test.avi

-itsoffset 1 ---->after record i recognize that sound is not sync with pict by 1 second, use this to correct. if you place after /dev/dsp it will affect sound, place it after /dev/video to affect video.

-ss 00:00:03 ---->start record after 3 second, if you want to record 3 hours from now set accordingly 03:00:00

-t 00:00:15 --->end record after 15 sec recording, if you want to record 2 hours movie set 02:00:00
