Command line tool to capture webcam video in Windows Xp

I want to know how to capture webcam video and dump the raw as well as an encoded version using ffmpeg. I want only the video stream. I'm on Windows xp.

capture video in virtual desktop

I use windows 10 and I need to capture just one virtual desktop and when I move to another desktop, that software should still capture video from the first virtual desktop (like capture video from live show or something).

I use snagIt, but it only captures the current screen. How can I do that?

And I read this question: video screen capture which supports virtual desktop But it's not about windows 10 and it's very old question.

Fixing ffmpeg latency accrued over time

I have ffmpeg/ffserver running in the following setup:

10.1.2.2 captures from video capture cards (16 channels) and streams them to an ffserver as mpeg1video

10.1.1.1/10.1.2.1 (two NICs) hosts the ffserver and some processes that convert the mpeg1video streams into webm streams along with zoneminder (feeding off the original ffmpeg streams). 10.1.2.2 and 10.1.2.1 are connected via gigabit crossover cable. The /tmp director is mounted as 128MB of RAM via tmpfs.

The mpeg1video stream is always delayed about 0.1-0.2 seconds behind the webm stream, this is perfectly acceptable to me (but I mention it because it might be useful to know for troubleshooting purposes).

When restarted all streams are delayed by 3-5 seconds (I would like to cut this delay down - I can view any individual stream directly from the video device live, so it might be that I'm getting these in the wrong format, except for the compounding delay). When run overnight the streams still appear "live" (fluid motion) in both mpeg1video and webm formats, but are clearly delayed by 4-5 HOURS (as evident by the fact the lights appeared to my amazement to be off when I came in this morning, and kept the screens up watching them until 4-5 hours after people started to come in that morning the lights came on [but not all together, they appear to get out of sync from one another as well]).

These are the processes I'm using:

On 10.1.2.2:

ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -standard ntsc -i /dev/video0 http://10.1.2.1:8090/0.ffm

On 10.1.2.1/10.1.1.15:

ffserver -f /etc/ffserver.conf
ffmpeg -f mpegvideo -i http://localhost:8090/0.mpg -vcodec libvpx http://localhost:8090/0_webm.ffm

And an excerpt from /etc/ffserver.conf on 10.1.2.1/10.1.1.15:

Now, 1MB is far too small to hold 4-5 hours of streaming video at 29.97 FPS and 320x240 resolution in yuv420p color - so my questions is, what is going on here and how do I fix it? To me is seems like something taking place within the initial ffmpeg process on 10.1.2.2, but I can't figure out what, does ffmpeg use some buffer of it's own or is there perhaps a command I can use to force it to drop any excessive frames when pulling from the video card - that is just to take a snapshot as quickly as it can and send from a single-image buffer to ffserver to ensure what is being sent is always live?

My goal here is a live stream feeding into zoneminder and a live stream output in webm format for each of the 16 channels (0-15) - so I am open to any solution but would prefer something based around ffmpeg/ffserver because they seem to be the gold-standard within Linux for tasks like this.

The initial delay of 3-5 seconds and the 4-5 hour delay may be different issues as well. When I kill 10.1.2.2 via "sudo reboot" it takes 3-5 seconds for the individual mpg/webm streams to cut out coming from 10.1.1.15, so it seems there is some buffering taking place within ffserver that goes beyond simply relaying the streams.

Edit: tried reducing all the feed FileMaxSize's to 30K and the 3-5 second delay is still present in all the streams. The same delay exists whether there are 16 or just 1 ffmpeg processes on 10.1.2.2.

Video capture cards are both bt878a 8-channel using the bttv driver with a /etc/modprobe.d/bttv.conf setup as follows per the manufacturer's instructions on each of the two machines containing the cards:

options i2c-algo-bit_test=1
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102 radio=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 tuner=4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4 chroma_agc=1 combfilter=2 full_luma_range=1 coring=1 autoload=0

On the local machines using:

ffplay -f video4linux2 -standard ntsc -i /dev/video0

Works in real-time and doesn't appear to accrue latency no matter how long it runs.

Where does the Camera app save videos?

When a video is recorded in Camera, where is it saved to?

I can't find them in the Videos or Pictures folders. They're not in the Public folders either.

They don't even show up in the Windows Store App, Videos.

Need a lightweight Screencasting Software

I need a lightweight screencasting software recommendation, something that wouldn't slow the computer down too much.

I've previously tried to use one software for recording while I played a video game, but everything became a lot slower as a result.

Any recommendations?

Capturing Silverlight streaming

Does anybody know if there is an effective way to catch the streamed output of Silverlight and saving it to the Hard disk (in any format) without using screen capturing tools?

How to capture a still image from digital video?

I'd like to get a still image from a digital video I've taken.

A quick search has revealed these two possibilities,

• capture-still-image-video which uses vlc player
• extract-still-image-from-video which uses Imagegrab

Any suggestions on which might be better or alternatives?

I'd be using Windows OS

Update
In the end I used Windows Live Movie Maker

What is the safest and least expensive way to store 10 terabytes of data?

I'm a member of a production company and we're preparing for our first feature film. We've been discussing methods of data storage to keep all of our original content safe (for as long as possible). While we understand data is never 100% safe, we'd like to find the safest solution for us.

We've considered:

• 16TB NAS for on-site storage

• 4-5 2TB hard drives (cheap, but not redundant), copy original footage to drives then seal in static free bag

• Burn data to Blu-Ray disks (time consuming and expensive: 200 disks == $5000)

• Tape drive(s)?

I know the least about tape drives, except the fact that they're more reliable than disks. Any experience/knowledge with this amount of data is hugely appreciated.

Tool to fix video that's out of sync with audio?

I'm looking for (preferably free) software for Windows 7 that will allow me to fix an AVI file that has audio out of sync with the video. I tried with Windows Live Movie Maker and VirtualDub and couldn't find out how to do it (if at all possible) on both of them. If any of those can help me, instructions for that would also be nice.

Background: I have a RCA-to-USB capture card, which I'm using to transfer VHS casettes and stuff from a video camera to digital format. The problem is that the audio comes out heavily distorted. So instead I connected the audio out from the VCR directly to the computer's line in. This works, but the audio is out of sync, about half a second behind the video. I could spend time trying to fix this issuee, but I think it'll be easier to simply fix the video.

Screen Casting using ffmpeg (too fast)

I can use ffmpeg to make screen casts:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1280x800 -i :0.0 -c:v libx264 -framerate 30 -r 30 -crf 18 out.mkv

However the output comes out to be too fast paced. It also happens with GTK RecordMyDesktop if I enable the encode on the fly. So, the questions is how to get a normal video pace. Also in order to capture the sound with ffmpeg what option should be used?

FFmpeg Output:

    ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1280x800 -r 30 -i :0.0 -c:v libx264 -framerate 30 -r 30 -crf 18 out.mkv

windows 7 best screen capture (video maker) software? [closed]

I hope you guys using best screen capture s/w so you can suggest me and open source is almost welcome.

Can you reccomend a screen capture application with audio? [closed]

I will soon be attending a web course.

Is there any application that can record the video and audio being outputted to my screen?

My goal is to record the class so I can watch it later.

Windows platforms preferred.

Processing YouTube video in ffmpeg

I'm using ffmpeg for taking screenshots from video. Is it possible to take screenshots from YouTube video without downloading video to hard drive?

When encoding a video, is there a way to know the resulting file size in advance?

Is there a way to know how large your resulting file size will be before your video is finished encoding?

BTW: I am using Microsoft Expression Encoder.

FFmpeg streaming: problems with device name

I'm trying to stream web camera and microphone in Windows using FFmpeg. First, I get my devices names (to specify -i parameter in streaming command) using a command like this:

ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy

The problem is in wrong encoding of my microphone name:

How can I add this device to "audio" parameter (Copying this name into "audio" gives no result)?
