Hi
I have one of these cameras. You can get a list of resolutions and
framerates with'v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext'. This will list 3 modes
of operation with a straight YUYV format for encoding, a motion jpeg
and h264 modes. Once you set the -pixel_format to h264 the camera is
doing hardware encoding. This command below will copy from the camera
at 10 frames per second at 864x480 in h264 and put in in a m4v file.
'ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 10 -video_size 864x480 -pixel_format h264
-i /dev/video0 -codec:v copy ~/test.m4v'
If you want to change other settings, there is v4l2-ctl and
uvcdynctrl. For uvcdynctrl you'' have to do a little prep work by
addiong the relevant data for the camera with this 'uvcdynctrl
--addctrl=046d:082d'. You then could turn off the led with this below.
'uvcdynctrl --set='LED1 Mode' 0'
I did not find any other h264 encoding tweaks other that the framerate
and resolution. With v4l2-ctl and uvcdynctrl you can adjust other
things like zoom, focus and color controls(brightness, contrast, etc),
but otherwise no h264 settings. You can run those before and during
recording.
