The following showed on the terminal: vlc -v I stopped it after 5 minutes or so by pressing the stop button on VLC, then exited VLC. I let it run - it always said the output was 44 bytes. I then ran vlc -v > vlclog.txt with the hopes that all debugging info would go to a file I could look at. Vlc -w isn’t accepted as it says -w is not a valid option. When this worked in the past the resulting output file was in the 1GB range in size.Ĭan anyone give me any hints what I might be doing wrong? I also have this same sort of thread open in the videolan forums for VLC waiting on replies as well. If I click the red record button while doing that it does record - but it makes some kind of huge file that used up the remaining space I have available on my small 160gb drive. I tried opening the capture device itself for input to play a movie and that works fine. After the entire movie completes it is still only 44 bytes. When I look at the output file with the file explorer the file remains at 44 bytes and never grows. The version of VLC now doesn’t seem to have, at least via the GUI interface, a frame rate option, though I don’t know if that makes any difference or not. I had previously specified the width and height and a frame rate of 29fps. I would open a stream, using the capture device as the input, and point the output to a file. I had been using VLC to do this successfully in the past. I had this working in an older release of a different distribution, but it wasn’t working correctly in the newer version there either before I made the switch to openSUSE. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle DVC-100 USB capture device I have used to capture my old VHS tapes to disk for a media center.

I hope I’m posting this in the correct forum - I didn’t know if it would be some sort of software request/issue or a hardware oriented “problem”.
