I'm trying to capture video from commandline. I have three big requirements:
- I have to be able to see a live preview of the capture
- I need to be able to start the capture from an external script, probably via commandline
- I need to be able to stop the capture from an external script/commandline.
VirtualDub almost works for me but I'm having problems with its live preview. VirtualVCR works great but it doesn't have a way to start and stop capture from commandline. I'm currently sending keystrokes to VirtualVCR to start and stop it's capture, but that method is a bit flakey and doesn't work 100% of the time.
Wondering if anyone might have some suggestions?
