Need CLI help with recording VHS tapes for elderly man...

[bash64]

I wish to record vhs tapes. I have an easycap dc60 capture card I am using with linux.
my video device is /dev/video0
my audio device is hw:2,0
The gui plays them just fine.
The gui will record them just fine.
However, I am attempting to help someone elderly to do this.
It needs to be "one click easy".
The shell seems to be the only way.

Can someone help me form a complete and functioning shell line to do this?
I have spent many hours in the docs for VLC.
I keep running into issues with VLC 2.1.6 misinterpreting the line I use.
I would rather have someone make a working line and then I will try and tweak that.

I basically need to convert VHS into an mkv file using blueray compression (x264).
The audio should be compressed. Any format is ok.
I would like VLC to quit when done.
There needs to be a stop time.

Thanks

You can copy the command line options from the last page of the GUI wizard.

[bash64]

Thanks, the the command lines specify the video and the audio hardware and a live-caching otpion.
There is no mention of the --sout and transcoding settings for the conversion.
