Video Output

VideoLAN comes with a selection of Video Output modules. These can display output on almost any computer.

If you don't want any video, you can use the --no-video option.

Output Modules

To select one of these modules, use the -V (--vout) command line option, eg:

vlc my.avi -V caca

image

Save all the frames of a video as a sequence of images. You can select the output format using --image-out-format (currently you can only choose png), and the start of the file name with --image-out-prefix. Finally, to create an image once out of a number of frames, give that number to --image-out-ratio. For example,

vlc v4l:// --image-out-prefix=webcam --image-out-ratio=20

will create a series of images named

webcam000001.png
webcam000002.png
webcam000003.png

Cloning

To display output in more than one window, video cloning can be used. To use this, specify

--vout-filter=clone

on the command line: this tells vlc to use cloning. You also need to tell vlc what output modules you want with, for example,

--clone-vout-filter=caca,glx
--clone-count=2
