NAME

       xscreensaver-getimage-video - grab a video still frame for use by screen savers

SYNOPSIS

       xscreensaver-getimage-video [--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       The  xscreensaver-getimage-video  program  is  a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks
       that manipulate images.  Specifically,  it  is  invoked  by  xscreensaver-getimage(6x)  as
       needed.

       It  grabs  a single frame of video from the system's video input to a file, and prints the
       name of that file on stdout. It does this by figuring out  which  frame-grabbing  programs
       are installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds.

OPTIONS

       xscreensaver-getimage-video accepts the following options:

       --verbose
           Print diagnostics.
