.TH STREAM 1 "April 25, 2001"
.SH NAME
stream \- captures an audio and (multiple) video stream(s)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B stream
.RI [ options ] " streams" ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
Vstream is a collection of utilities for capturing reasonably high
quality video from a v4l device (specifically configured for bttv). A
simultaneous audio track is also captured.
The first utility -
.B stream
- captures an audio and (multiple) video
stream(s). For highest performance, the video stream should be written
to a raw partition(s).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B -half
only capture 1 of every 2 frames - reduces required bandwidth with little
visible loss in quality (in my opinion).
.TP
.B -halfx Xxdim Xydim
capture half the frames to disk and half to an X window of width Xxdim
and height Xydim (see BUGS).
.TP
.B -start time
the next argument, in the form hh:mm:ss:dd:mm:yyyy, is the time at which
recording will start. Only the first three arguments are required. The
remaining arguments will be taken from the current date/time.
.TP
.B -end time
time to stop recording. Same format as "-start".
.TP
.B xdim
width
.TP
.B ydim
height
.TP
.B streams...
One audio stream and max. 256 video streams are possible. Both types
of the arguments are simply a file name (should be an empty file or
a raw partition), the first argument will be the audio stream, the
other will be video streams.
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR audioclip (1),
.BR audioconv (1),
.BR str2ppm (1),
.BR ppm2str (1),
.BR xfv (1),
.BR xsf (1).
