capture s-video via ffmpeg (or: how to digitalise your old vhs-stuff)
I wanted to digitalise some old VHS-Videos.
The main thing is, that my /dev/video1 (TV-Card) got more than one inputs (regular TV-Cable input and S-Video) How to tell the program to grab input 2 instead of standard input 1?
After hours of searching with all possible programs on Linux, I finally landed in the console with ffmpeg.
ffmpeg -f alsa -ar 44100 -ac 1 -i plughw:0,2 -f video4linux2 -s sxga -r 25 -vc 2 -i /dev/video1 output.avi
Note: The option "-vc 2" is, according to the manual, only for "DV1349" (=Firewire) available. But in my case, it only works for my TV-Card to grab S-Video input.
Yeah.
