xscreensaver-getimage-video - grab a video still frame for use by screen savers
xscreensaver-getimage-video [--verbose]
The xscreensaver-getimage-video program is a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. Specifically, it is invoked by xscreensaver-getimage(6x) as needed.
It grabs a single frame of video from the system's video input to a file, and prints the name of that file on stdout. It does this by figuring out which frame-grabbing programs are installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds.
xscreensaver-getimage-video accepts the following options:
X(1), xscreensaver(1), xscreensaver-settings(1), xscreensaver-getimage(6x), xscreensaver-getimage-file(6x), atitv(1), bttvgrab(1), ffmpeg(1), gqcam(1), grab(1), motioneye(1), mplayer(1), qcam(1), streamer(1), v4lctl(1), vidcat(1), vidtomem(1).
