Building mpeg/avi/divx with a webcam

Posted on January 21, 2004 by admin

This is a small tips to build a avi/divx/mpeg/what you want, with webcam as input in realtime. Simply use mencoder (the encoder build by the mplayer team)

mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=160:height=120  -ovc divx4 -o test.avi

Take care, that you should respect the width/height of the current webcam settings.

Hi there… do you know if there’s a way to specify a time limit for encoding?
