| EULAreader | Basically I'm trying to find what command to type to capture video off my hardware capture card. | 17:06 |
| gedakc | EULAreader: To capture video, tune the card to a channel and then use something like "cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg" to capture the stream. Press CTRL+C to stop. Be sure to use the path name of your video device (mine was /dev/video0). | 17:29 |
| EULAreader | Ah sweeeet | 17:30 |
| EULAreader | Ya I'm trying to capture an old camera. | 17:30 |
| EULAreader | Not exactly tv. Thanks gedakc | 17:30 |
| gedakc | The same concept should work with the camera too. | 17:30 |
| EULAreader | How do I specific the input on dev.video0 | 17:31 |
| gedakc | I haven't done it with a camera. I suggest you check on a forum for cameras. | 17:34 |
| EULAreader | What's the forums link again? Thanks | 17:47 |
| gedakc | I don't have a link in mind. I suggest an Internet search. | 17:48 |
| EULAreader | Ah right I will do that. ^.^ | 17:52 |
| EULAreader | Happy 2016 people. | 17:52 |
| EULAreader | gedakc: how much space does the .mpg file take up? | 19:20 |
| EULAreader | Does it save at a set data rate? | 19:20 |
| gedakc | The size depends on the data rate of the video stream and how long you capture the stream. | 19:22 |
| EULAreader | So it's no set 500MB/min ? | 20:06 |
| EULAreader | Neat. Then I play file in vlc. | 20:06 |
| EULAreader | That's a high data rate | 20:07 |
