NAME
       xscreensaver-getimage-video  -  put  a  video frame on the
       root window

SYNOPSIS
       xscreensaver-getimage-video [-display host:display.screen]
       [--verbose] [--stdout]

DESCRIPTION
       The  xscreensaver-getimage-video  program is a helper pro-
       gram for the xscreensaver hacks  that  manipulate  images.
       Specifically, it is invoked by xscreensaver-getimage(e) as
       needed.  This is not a user-level command.

       This program grabs a random frame of video from  the  sys-
       tem's  video  input, and then loads it on the root window.
       It does this by figuring out which frame-grabbing programs
       are installed on the system, and invoking the first one it
       finds.   Then  it  runs  xscreensaver-getimage-file(e)  to
       load that image onto the root window.

OPTIONS
       xscreensaver-getimage-video accepts the following options:

       --verbose
           Print diagnostics.

       --stdout
           Instead of loading the image  onto  the  root  window,
           write it to stdout as a PBM file.
