Display camera output to display, and optionally saves an H264 capture at requested bitrate


usage: raspivid [options]

Image parameter commands

-?, --help	: This help information
-w, --width	: Set image width <size>. Default 1920
-h, --height	: Set image height <size>. Default 1080
-b, --bitrate	: Set bitrate. Use bits per second (e.g. 10MBits/s would be -b 10000000)
-o, --output	: Output filename <filename> (to write to stdout, use '-o -').
		  Connect to a remote IPv4 host (e.g. tcp://192.168.1.2:1234, udp://192.168.1.2:1234)
		  To listen on a TCP port (IPv4) and wait for an incoming connection use -l
		  (e.g. raspivid -l -o tcp://0.0.0.0:3333 -> bind to all network interfaces, raspivid -l -o tcp://192.168.1.1:3333 -> bind to a certain local IPv4)
-v, --verbose	: Output verbose information during run
-t, --timeout	: Time (in ms) to capture for. If not specified, set to 5s. Zero to disable
-d, --demo	: Run a demo mode (cycle through range of camera options, no capture)
-fps, --framerate	: Specify the frames per second to record
-e, --penc	: Display preview image *after* encoding (shows compression artifacts)
-g, --intra	: Specify the intra refresh period (key frame rate/GoP size). Zero to produce an initial I-frame and then just P-frames.
-pf, --profile	: Specify H264 profile to use for encoding
-td, --timed	: Cycle between capture and pause. -cycle on,off where on is record time and off is pause time in ms
-s, --signal	: Cycle between capture and pause on Signal
-k, --keypress	: Cycle between capture and pause on ENTER
-i, --initial	: Initial state. Use 'record' or 'pause'. Default 'record'
-qp, --qp	: Quantisation parameter. Use approximately 10-40. Default 0 (off)
-ih, --inline	: Insert inline headers (SPS, PPS) to stream
-sg, --segment	: Segment output file in to multiple files at specified interval <ms>
-wr, --wrap	: In segment mode, wrap any numbered filename back to 1 when reach number
-sn, --start	: In segment mode, start with specified segment number
-sp, --split	: In wait mode, create new output file for each start event
-c, --circular	: Run encoded data through circular buffer until triggered then save
-x, --vectors	: Output filename <filename> for inline motion vectors
-cs, --camselect	: Select camera <number>. Default 0
-set, --settings	: Retrieve camera settings and write to stdout
-md, --mode	: Force sensor mode. 0=auto. See docs for other modes available
-if, --irefresh	: Set intra refresh type
-fl, --flush	: Flush buffers in order to decrease latency
-pts, --save-pts	: Save Timestamps to file for mkvmerge
-cd, --codec	: Specify the codec to use - H264 (default) or MJPEG
-lev, --level	: Specify H264 level to use for encoding
-r, --raw	: Output filename <filename> for raw video
-rf, --raw-format	: Specify output format for raw video. Default is yuv
-l, --listen	: Listen on a TCP socket
