[FFmpeg-user] Record Webcam To a Different File Every Hour

[me at renecalles.de]

Hi Özen,

two options are coming in my mind for this topic:

1) If you're on linux use a cronjob every hour and your command could 
look like ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -r 25 -s 640x480 -i /dev/video0 -t 3599 
out.avi

2) Make use of the segmenter included in FFmpeg. But i'm not shure such 
long segments are supported and you might need to choose antoher format 
such as MP4/MPEG-TS as output.

Both options are not tested but this is where i would start testing.

Best Regards,
René
