Capturing Video From QuickCam Express Using FFMpeg

Another quick post.

You can capture motion video from your QuickCam Express USB camera (assuming properly configured) by issuing the following command:


$ ffmpeg -r 15 -s 352x288 -f video4linux -i /dev/video0 /tmp/video.avi


This will capture at a 15 fps frame rate at the specified resolution.

Cheers.
