The BTTV HOWTO
Now try to record something:
$ streamer −p 4 −t 1:00 −r 24 −q −o test.avi −j 90 −f mjpeg −F mono16
...and you should be recording a sound−enabled avi file. Press [Ctrl]−C to cancel early. Next step is to
automate the recording for your very own home−brewed Tivo"!
I offer the following script as an example program for automating recording; you can copy and paste it into a
file and make it executable (chmod u+x record−tv.sh).
This script (and any recording from your Bttv device for that matter) generates extremely large files, on
the order of several GB per hour, so be sure you have lots of free disk space available.
