NAME
     xscreensaver-getimage-video - put a video frame on the  root
     window

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/xscreensaver/bin/xscreensaver-getimage-video
     [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose] [--stdout]

DESCRIPTION
     The xscreensaver-getimage-video program is a helper  program
     for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images.  Specifi-
     cally, it is invoked by xscreensaver-getimage(1) as  needed.
     This is not a user-level command.

     This program grabs a random frame of video from the system's
     video  input, and then loads it on the root window.  It does
     this by  figuring  out  which  frame-grabbing  programs  are
     installed  on  the  system,  and  invoking  the first one it
     finds.   Then it runs xscreensaver-getimage-file(1) to  load
     that image onto the root window.

OPTIONS
     xscreensaver-getimage-video accepts the following options:

     --verbose
         Print diagnostics.

     --stdout
         Instead of loading the image onto the root window, write
         it to stdout as a PBM file.
