# Capture a continuous CMIF movie using the Indigo video library and board
# Usage:

# Options:
#
# -r rate : capture 1 out of every 'rate' frames (default 1)
# -w width : initial window width (default interactive placement)
# -d : drop fields if needed
# -g bits : greyscale (2, 4 or 8 bits)
# -G : 2-bit greyscale dithered
# -m : monochrome dithered
# -M value : monochrome tresholded with value
# -f : Capture fields (in stead of frames)
# -n number : Capture 'number' fields (default 60)
#
# moviefile : here goes the movie data (default film.video);
# the format is documented in cmif-film.ms

@ -38,8 +38,6 @@ Options for Vrec:
-q queuesize Set size of the video board circular buffer. A little
experimentation with this may lead to more video being
captured, but not always.
-r rate Set video rate. A rate of 2 tries to capture every
second frame, etc.
-P frames Preallocate diskspace for 'frames' images. This may
enable you to capture more frames.
