Hi everyone!
I’m new to FFMPEG and look for help with saving video stream from a webcam in
.mpg format. What I have is a working code that will save the video stream in
.avi format in 1 hour junks:
ffmpeg -r 20 -f dshow -s 960x544 -i video="Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000" -codec
copy -f segment -segment_time 3600 -reset_timestamps 1 -segment_start_number 1
-segment_format avi -r 20 c:\Users\Desktop\out%%03d.avi
…but I’m having trouble saving in .mpg format. The reason why I would like to
save in .mpg format is that (1) .avi files are very large and (2) my downstream
analysis requires .mpg format.
I’m uncertain what the correct way is to save in .mpg format, hence my question
here, but what I tried is simply changing, in the code above, the
-segment_format to mpg and the file ending to .mpg. With these changes, I get
the following error notifications:
C:\Users\Desktop>ffmpeg -r 25 -f dshow -s 640x360 -i video="Microsof
t LifeCam HD-5000" -codec copy -f segment -segment_time 3570 -reset_timestamps 1
-segment_start_number 1 -segment_format mpeg -r 25 c:\Users\Desktop
\out_%03d.mpg
