NAME

       xscreensaver-getimage-video - put a video frame on the root window

SYNOPSIS

       xscreensaver-getimage-video [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose] [--stdout]

DESCRIPTION

       The  xscreensaver-getimage-video  program  is  a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks
       that manipulate images.   Specifically,  it  is  invoked  by  xscreensaver-getimage(1)  as
       needed.  This is not a user-level command.

       This  program  grabs a random frame of video from the system's video input, and then loads
       it on the root window.  It does this by figuring out  which  frame-grabbing  programs  are
       installed   on  the  system,  and  invoking  the  first  one  it  finds.    Then  it  runs
       xscreensaver-getimage-file(1) to load that image onto the root window.

OPTIONS

       xscreensaver-getimage-video accepts the following options:

       --verbose
           Print diagnostics.

       --stdout
           Instead of loading the image onto the root window, write it to stdout as a PBM file.
