[FFmpeg-user] ffmpeg cannot capture h264 from webcam C920

[William C Bonner]

I finally figured out that to use FFMPEG directly with the logitech C920
camera doing h.264 encoding, I need to use the -copyinkf flag.

ffmpeg -report -s 1920x1080 f v4l2 -vcodec h264 -i /dev/video0 -copyinkf
-vcodec copy test.mp4
