Hi.

I was wondering if it was possible to somehow pass options to the ffmpeg source type in the source line, so that I can capture from my bttv card using ffmpeg? The card usually spits out a lot of bad lines using local source type. This does only happen at the very start of the video if I encode a video in ffmpeg. After a second or two, the card seems to settle down, recording beautiful error free video. I imagine therefor that the local source type starts and stops after every frame, never letting the card settle down.

I hope someone can help me with this, because the bad lines, made out of pixels from the other outputs, is really messing with the motion detection.

meh. Forget about it. ffmpeg doesn't want to capture from more than one channel from each device. So my 16 channel card would only be able to capture from 4 cameras.
