NAME

       mp4live - record and/or transmit video and/or audio

SYNTAX

       mp4live [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  is  a Linux audio/video capture utility that can capture
       and encode audio and video in real-time. The results can be written  to
       either  an mp4 file, transmitted onto the network via either unicast or
       multicast, or both simultaneously! The audio is  encoded  with  MP3  or
       AAC,  and  the  video  with  MPEG-4  Simple  Profile  which is OpenDivx
       compatible.

       The program has a Gtk based user interface which displays a preview  of
       the  encoded video and controls to adjust the settings of the functions
       of the program. Settings are remembered and stored in ~/.mp4live_rc.

       See the  program  README  for  detailed  information  on  hardware  and
       software requirements, known problems, and unknowns.

OPTIONS

       -file <config-file>

       -automatic
              Act as if the  "Start"  button  were  pressed  immediately  upon

              configuration at startup will be done.

       -headless
              Act as in automatic mode, and do not display any user interface.

       -sdp   Just  generate the sdp file based on the configuration and exit.
