Trying to take snapshots from a webcam

[CoyoteBait]

I'm trying to create a script that will take a snapshot of my webcam every 1 minute so I can upload via FTP, but I'm running into a bit of difficulty.
I'm using this code:

Code: Select all

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --start-time=1 --run-time=1 --video-filter=scene --scene-path=/Users/name/Movies/Linksys/ http://192.168.1.115/img/video.asf

Which successfully takes a single snapshot and saves it to the correct path, but I haven't been able to successfully quit VLC to terminate the command so I can run it again in 1 minute.
When I try adding vlc://quit to the end of it, it won't save a snapshot and this is what I get back from command line:

[0x2d6b98] access_http access error: cannot connect to 192.168.1.115:80
[0x2d6b98] access_mms access error: cannot connect to 192.168.1.115:80
[0x2d9d98] dummy demux: command `quit'

Any ideas on how to get VLC to terminate?

Thanks!

Also, using the above code doesn't increment the file like the snapshots do… does anybody have any idea how to make the snapshots work correctly?
