AVFoundation is the currently recommended framework by Apple for streamgrabbing on OSX >= 10.7 as well as on iOS.
The older QTKit framework has been marked deprecated since OSX version 10.7.
The filename passed as input is parsed to contain two input streams seperated by ":".
The first entry selects the video input while the latter selects the audio input @option{"<video>:<audio>"}.
Each stream can either be specified by the device name or the index.
The device index can also be given by using @option{-video_device_index <index>} and/or @option{-audio_device_index <index>}, respectively.
A given device index will override any given device name.
If the desired device consists of numbers only, use the device index option to identify it.
The default device will be chosen if an empty string or the device name @code{default} is given.
The available devices can be enumerated by using @option{-list_devices true}.
The pixel format can be set using @option{-pixel_format <format>}.
Available formats:
The input filename has to be given in the following syntax:
@example
-i "[[VIDEO]:[AUDIO]]"
@end example
The first entry selects the video input while the latter selects the audio input.
The stream has to be specified by the device name or the device index as shown by the device list.
Alternatively, the video and/or audio input device can be chosen by index using the
@option{
-video_device_index <INDEX>
}
and/or
@option{
-audio_device_index <INDEX>
}
, overriding any
device name or index given in the input filename.
All available devices can be enumerated by using @option{-list_devices true}, listing
all device names and corresponding indices.
There are two device name aliases:
@table @code
@item default
Select the AVFoundation default device of the corresponding type.
@item none
Do not record the corresponding media type.
This is equivalent to specifiying an empty device name or index.
@end table
@subsection Options
AVFoundation supports the following options:
@table @option
@item -list_devices <TRUE|FALSE>
If set to true, a list of all available input devices is given showing all
device names and indices.
@item -video_device_index <INDEX>
Specify the video device by its index. Overrides anything given in the input filename.
@item -audio_device_index <INDEX>
Specify the audio device by its index. Overrides anything given in the input filename.
@item -pixel_format <FORMAT>
Request the video device to use a specific pixel format.
If the specified format is not supported, a list of available formats is given
und the first one in this list is used instead. Available pixel formats are:
@code{monob, rgb555be, rgb555le, rgb565be, rgb565le, rgb24, bgr24, 0rgb, bgr0, 0bgr, rgb0,
bgr48be, uyvy422, yuva444p, yuva444p16le, yuv444p, yuv422p16, yuv422p10, yuv444p10,
yuv420p, nv12, yuyv422, gray}
@end table
@subsection Examples
@itemize
@item
Print the list of AVFoundation supported devices and exit:
@example
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -i "0:0" out.mpg
$ ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i ""
@end example
@item
Record video from video device 0 and audio from audio device 0 into out.avi:
@example
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -video_device_index 0 -i ":0" out.mpg
$ ffmpeg -f avfoundation -i "0:0" out.avi
@end example
@item
Record video from video device 2 and audio from audio device 1 into out.avi:
@example
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -pixel_format bgr0 -i "default:default" out.mpg
$ ffmpeg -f avfoundation -video_device_index 2 -i ":1" out.avi
@end example
@item
Record video from the system default video device using the pixel format bgr0 and do not record any audio into out.avi:
@example
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i ""
$ ffmpeg -f avfoundation -pixel_format bgr0 -i "default:none" out.avi
@end example
@end itemize
@section bktr
BSD video input device.
