[17:06] <EULAreader> Basically I'm trying to find what command to type to capture video off my hardware capture card.
[17:29] <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).
[17:30] <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.
[17:31] <EULAreader> How do I specific the input on dev.video0
[17:34] <gedakc> I haven't done it with a camera.  I suggest you check on a forum for cameras.
[17:47] <EULAreader> What's the forums link again? Thanks
[17:48] <gedakc> I don't have a link in mind.  I suggest an Internet search.
[17:52] <EULAreader> Ah right I will do that. ^.^
[17:52] <EULAreader> Happy 2016 people.
[19:20] <EULAreader> gedakc: how much space does the .mpg file take up?
[19:20] <EULAreader> Does it save at a set data rate?
[19:22] <gedakc> The size depends on the data rate of the video stream and how long you capture the stream.
[20:06] <EULAreader> So it's no set 500MB/min ?
[20:06] <EULAreader> Neat. Then I play file in vlc.
[20:07] <EULAreader> That's a high data rate
