I am trying to "webalize" a video feed that goes into a video capture card on this one Linux box. So, at any rate, I have figured out how to do the actual capture. The following ffmpeg command does the job:
The problem is this command if allowed to run indefinitely will simply fill up my disk with by then irrelevant video recording. All I want is to be able to watch that video feed via HTTP, not to have the whole footage recorded. Hence my question - is there any good way to truncate the duration of footage being recorded? Like, record the video feed but only keep the last 30 seconds of it in the output file?
