Video Recording

[MarkoeZ]

Hiya ppl, been a while.


Quick question, are there already confirmed working video in usb adapters?


Im doing a lot of quadcopter flying these days, and i'd like to record the signal im seeing on the video goggles im expecting.


I dont have to view live video, it would just need to properly record the (PAL) video signal.


A laptop would do, but thats bulky ofcourse. With the pandora my whole setup could fit in a small backpack.


Kind regards,


Mark "MarkoeZ" U

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but isn't this the same as recording video from a webcam? Because you can definitely do that (well you certainly could - I tried it *ages* ago with guvcview, but mplayer and vlc also do it). It may be that your video goggles need to be UVC-compatible though.

Is there any guide on how to record with a webcam ? with VLC or SMplayer ?

Outside of a google search? I'd say not.

So, you mean it would work exactly the same on Pandora or are there any extra steps to take to setup the webcam first?

Recording aspect should be the same, I'm not sure about the webcam.

Yeah the recording software is not a problem, but im going to need an usb video in adapter. The pandora does not have video in.


So i was wondering if anyone has tested that already, before i buy one that does not work with it

i did that a while ago, but it didn't work reliable - though i have to say i didn't try very hard


used this hardware: http://www.conrad.de...earchDetail=005 <- sorry for german site, will search for english product page


there is out-of-box driver support on the pandora via easycap, and i was able to record with vlc, while cheese didn't recognize it properly.


from time to time it worked, but it also produced a lot of "testscreens" - i believe it was a hw problem, but i'm not sure...


i stopped investigating after a few tries... (interestingly my desktop pc with fedora didn't support it...)


edit: btw., i didn't test audio recording!

Aaah thanks!


I can read german, and conrad also has a dutch shop.


Also, for 13 euro, cheap enough to give it a go


Dont need audio btw. Quadcopter motors and props are VERY VERY noisy, so i always just add music, like this:

I'd love to have some Quadcopter.


It's like a video game with great 3D graphics.


Where are the enemies in your level?


Which weapons do you use?
