Hi Roger,
I will try the git master and update the thread. I also think there is something wrong in my command in OSX. When I run the below, it seems to recognize video device name as "FaceTime HD Camera":audio="Built-in Microphone" which is not correct and hence it could not find the video device. What is the command I need to use to specifically identify audio and video streams. In windows it is very clear and it works good with this command ( ffmpeg –f dshow –i video=”USB2.0 Camera”:audio=”Microphone (Realtek High Definition Audio)” -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4). How to do the same in OSX?
Command I used in OSX
$ ffmpeg -f avfoundation -i video="FaceTime HD Camera":audio="Built-in Microphone" -r 29.97 -y out.mov
Output
>> [AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fc133c15700] Video device not found
>> video=FaceTime HD Camera:audio=Built-in Microphone: Input/output error
Thanks
Jay
