Video for Linux Two (V4l2)

[ierosvin]

hi,

is anyone familiar with this interface? and knows how to capture video using this?

i tried to workaround things in v4l2spec.bytesex.org Video Capture Example (capture.c), the example given in v4l2 spec, but it doesnt show how we could save the images captured to video.

i tried running the program as

$ capture -o > file.mpeg

and the resulting video plays really fast. im thinking this is not the right way to save it.

help please.

thanks!

Try using ffmpeg, or vlc in streaming mode. I use ffmpeg to stream to vlc from my web cam.
