what the dev

[zimbot]

friends,

I am attempting to encode via VLC and reflect it to a dss server.

I think i grasp the basics

command line makes file.spd and I move that to my dss movies dir

but WHAT is my input on the linux machine .

that is I have firewire -- and i am sure i do not have a ///dev/video0:1

what would be my //dev

how can i 'see' what my //dev could be?

when i do the below it fails : [00000292] main input error: no suitable access module for `v4l2:///dev

here is my fail attempt

~$ vlc -vvv v4l2:///dev/video0:input=1:width=320:height=240:adev=hw.1,0:samplerate=32000 --sout '#transcode{venc=ffmpeg{keyint=1},vcodec=mp4v,vb=100k,acodec=mp4a,fps=10,ab=8k,channels=1,samplerate=16000}:rtp{mp4a-latm,dst=192.168.200.204,port-audio=20000,port-video=20002,ttl=127,name=CHANNEL,sdp=file:///mePerson/movies/channel.sdp}'
