# Working with video
|
|
|
|
## Video recording
|
|
|
|
!!! info
|
|
H.264 is available on Pi 3 and Pi 4. Older boards won't handle it. Best of all this feature only works for HDMI to CSI bridge. For the USB HDMI dongle, there will be a decrease in FPS to 10-15 for 1080p. Work in progress.
|
|
|
|
1. Perform full system update to get the latest uStreamer and install ffmpeg:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# rw
|
|
# pacman -Syu
|
|
# pacman -S ffmpeg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. For USB dongle only: Add line `gpu_mem=256` to `/boot/config.txt`.
|
|
|
|
3. Perform `reboot` command.
|
|
|
|
4. Run `rw` after the reboot.
|
|
|
|
6. To record a video, you need to enable the stream (open the web interface or connect via VNC). Then run something like this in the console:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# rw
|
|
# ustreamer-dump --sink kvmd::ustreamer::h264 --output - | ffmpeg -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -i pipe: -c:v copy test.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
7. Press `Ctrl+C` to stop recording. Your video will be in the file `test.mp4`.
|
|
|
|
8. After finishing work, do not forget to switch the file system to read-only mode using `ro` command.
