.TH streamer 1
.SH NAME
streamer - record audio and/or video
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B streamer [ options ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B streamer
reads audio and/or video data from /dev/video0 and /dev/dsp and
writes the data to the disk.  Various output formats are supported.
Start streamer with '\-h' for a list of options and supported output
formats.
.P
streamer will use the file extension of the output file name to figure
which format to use.  You need the \-f/\-F options only if the extension
allows more than one format.  If you get the "neither audio nor video
format specified/found" message and don't know why, you can enable the
debug output (\-d switch) to see what is going on.
.P
You can safely stop the recording at any time with Ctrl+C.  streamer
will catch the signal and stop recording correctly (i.e. write movie
file headers) before exiting.
