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.

       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 120
	      record a short quicktime movie (120 frames / 12 fps => 10 seconds).

       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.
