I have an IP camera that is running correctly. I can open http:its.address.com/videostream.cgi
in my browser and view the video successfully. Now I would like to create a program or script that saves X seconds worth of video whenever I run it.
I thought maybe VLC would do this, but I get No suitable decoder module for fourcc 'MJPG'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format
. I reinstalled VLC with apt-get and get the same result.
- What is the best tool for the job of recording frames on demand?
- If it is VLC, how do I get MJPG support?
