boxtream 0.998 (Default branch)
Image Boxtream is both an audio and video encoder and streamer and an assembly of audio and video hardware, forming a mobile video streaming studio. It is designed to easily record and stream live presentations, including a presenter and synchronized slides, or slides only, or presenter only. It was built to stream live courses over the Internet for distance learning students. It supports and autodetects several brands and models of video switchers. It can be entirely controlled remotely over XML-RPC, and includes an X11 interface. By default, it supports five different streaming and recording scenarios. The software part can also be used with very minimal hardware, like a DV camcorder and a laptop. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
Basic support for Kramer video switchers was added. An A/V sync problem in the default hardware configuration was fixed. Graphviz dot files are generated automatically from the running GStreamer pipeline. The package now includes the schema of the general hardware architecture. Lots of small bugfixes and improvements were done all over the place. Licensing terms were changed to GNU GPL 3.0 or later. Be aware that you must delete the existing version before installing this one, since the streaming scenarios have been renamed.Image

NAME

       streamer - record audio and/or video

SYNOPSIS

       streamer [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       streamer  reads	audio  and/or  video  data from /dev/video0 and /dev/dsp and writes the data to the disk.  Various output formats are sup-
       ported.	Start streamer with '-h' for a list of options and supported output formats.

       streamer will use the file extention of the output file name to figure which format to use.  You need the -f/-F options only if the  exten-
       tion  allows  more  than  one  format.  If you get the "neither audio nor video format specified/found" message and don't know why, you can
       enable the debug output (-d switch) to see what is going on.

       You can safely stop the recording at any time with Ctrl+C.  streamer will catch the signal and stop recording correctly (i.e.  write  movie
       file headers) before exiting.

EXAMPLES

       streamer -o foobar.jpeg
	      write a single jpeg file.

       streamer -o quicktime.mov -f yuv2 -F stereo -r 12 -t 0:10
	      record a short quicktime movie.
