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 supported.
       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  extention
       allows  more  than one format.  If you get the "neither audio nor video
       format specified/found" message and don't know why, you can 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.
