Hi,
I'd love to use cinelerra to do some training videos, with webcam as
video source.
This seems like it should be a FAQ, but I've googled quite a bit, and
found very little (except "use ffmpeg")... finally found someone who
claimed to have successfully used a USB source input to cinelerra. . .
Here's what I've done:
I can set up Recording successfully with Screen capture as source; this
should prove that the output format settings are valid
* Switching the Settings to Video4Linux and specifying
"/dev/video0" (known to be correct device name)
* I can go to record and click interactive record button:
* the position counter increments
* The audio meters in the "VIdeo In" window react to sound
* The Video In screen turns green
But nothing gets recorded.
The obvious problem is that the "record" light on the webcam never comes
on. Probably the screen is green because there's no vid from the webcam,
which isn't in "record" mode... how do I enable the silly thing before
trying to capture? Or is that not really the problem?
Another oddity: The record screen doesn't show the "source"... Most of
the settings on the Record dialog get reflected on the batch item... but
not "Source". Not matter what I do, the Source column on the active
batch item is always "None". This is despite the fact that I manually
enter "/dev/video0" into the "Source:" field above.
Thanks in advance
For the record, it's a "Creative VF0560 Live! Cam Optia AF".
