NAME
       streamer - record audio and/or video

SYNOPSIS
       streamer [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
       streamer  reads  audio  and/or video data from /dev/video0
       and /dev/dsp and writes the data  to  the  disk.   Various
       output  formats  are  supported.  Start streamer with '-h'
       for a list of options and supported output formats.

       streamer will use the file extention of  the  output  file
       name  to  figure  which format to use.  You need the -f/-F
       options only if the extention allows more than one format.

       You can savely stop the recording at any time with Ctrl+C.
       streamer will catch the signal  and  stop  recording  cor-
       rectly (i.e. write movie file headers) before exiting.

EXAMPLES
       streamer -o foobar.jpeg
              write a single jpeg file.

       streamer -o quicktime.mov -f yuv2 -F stereo -r 12 -t 120
              record a short quicktime movie (120 frames / 12 fps
              => 10 seconds).
