grab a single image from my webcam disply on screen

Postby triplebit » 10 Jan 2012 07:45

I use vlc command line.
I need to capture continually my personal profile video on the PC screen with my webcam, and grab a single image, probably by a hot key or by cursore click, saving it to a file.
Is it possible and how?
Regards

Then you have to use rc, telnet or similar interface and use e.g. netcat to send then take snapshot command.
