Stop Pulseaudio

PCA-DAV3 couldn't capture audio with Pulseaudio (and Jack). So I decide to stop Pulseaudio (and Jack) temporarily when I use PCA-DAV3 :P

$ cp /etc/pulse/client.conf ~/.pulse/client.conf

~/.pulse/client.conf

• change to "autospawn = no"
• change to "daemon-binary = /bin/true"

create ~/.asoundrc

pcm.!default {
	type hw
	card 0
}

ctl.!default {
	type hw
	card 0
}

$ pulseaudio --kill

Then PCA-DAV3 handle ALSA driver directly :)

• driver=v4l2 ... driver for video
• device=/dev/video0 ... device of PCA-DAV3 for video
• norm=NTSC ... must be specified value for PCA-DAV3
• input=1 ... input from composit
• width=640:height=480:fps=24 ... output size, framerate
• alsa ... driver for audio
• adevice=hw.1,0 ... device of PCA-DAV3 for audio
• amode=1 ... input is stereo
• immediatemode=0 ... capture both of video and audio
• audiorate=48000 ... must be specified value for PCA-DAV3
• -vf pp=lb ... de-interlace
• -aspect 4:3 ... aspect ratio

_ Capture command example(ffmpeg with v4l2-ctl)

You need to set video standard to NTSC and video input to composite(1) and audio mute to disable(0) before running ffmpeg.

$ v4l2-ctl --set-standard=ntsc --set-input=1 --set-ctrl=mute=0

and then You can run ffmpeg correctly :)

$ ffmpeg -loglevel error -y -f v4l2 -channel 1 -s 640x480 -thread_queue_size 1024 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -thread_queue_size 1024 -i hw:1,0 -acodec libfaac -ab 224k -vcodec libx264 -b:v 1000k -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -vsync -1 -async 100 -deinterlace -to "01:10:00" -f mp4 out2.mp4

• -loglevel error ... reduce log message
• -y ... over write mode
• -f v4l2 ... specify video4linux2 for video format
• -channel 1 ... specify composite for video input
• -s 640x480 ... output video size
• -thread_queue_size 1024 ... buffer for video stream to fix "ALSA buffer xrun"
• -i /dev/video0 ... video device
• -f alsa ... specify alsa for audio format
• -thread_queue_size 1024 ... buffer for audio stream to fix "ALSA buffer xrun"
• -i hw:1,0 ... audio device
• -acodec libfaac ... audio codec
• -ab 224k ... audio bitrate
• -vcodec libx264 ... video codec
• -b:v 1000k video bitrate
• -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc ... Convert MPEG-2/4 AAC ADTS to MPEG-4 Audio Specific Configuration bitstream filter
• -vsync -1 -async 100 ... sync video and audio
• -deinterlace ... de-interlace
• -to "01:10:00" ... recording time
• -f mp4 ... output file format
• out2.mp4 ... output file name

_ After finishing to use PCA-DAV3

Restore audio environment to original state.

$ rm ~/.pulse/client.conf
$ rm ~/.asoundrc
$ pulseaudio --start
