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.
