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.
