Thank you for the feedback.

Interestingly, this:
[video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x56248fe0ab80] Dequeued v4l2 buffer contains corrupted data (0 bytes).

Appears to be my headache and I kinda discovered it by accident. I was experimenting with some suggestions from another forum and found this command:

ffmpeg -y -thread_queue_size 1024 -f alsa -channels 2 -i front:CARD=Capture,DEV=0 -thread_queue_size 1024 -f video4linux2 -video_size 640x480 -i /dev/video0 -c:v libx264 -crf 0 -g 1 -c:a copy output.mkv

Worked great. Until I ran it again and it fell on its face. It's definitely not something in the ffmpeg space, it's the v4l2. First time you run that command after plugging the capture device in, it runs fine with no errors. Second time you run it you get that corrupted data error. If I unplug the capture device, then plug it back in it appears to reset the v4l2 device interface. Then running that command above again produces really nice clean in-sync video. So I guess I have a work around. I suppose I will move this over to the v4l2 folks and see what they make of it. Looks like theres already a few threads on Google about it.

Thanks again for the followup.

Unrelated:
„mpeg" output will not make you happy.

But that command kinda falls on its face. I get the audio, but no video:

ffmpeg -y -f alsa -ac 2 -i front:CARD=Capture,DEV=0 -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 out.mpeg

The start times do not match, this makes recording very difficult because there will likely be A/V desync.

Try the v4l2 input option -ts abs
