Vlc can do the recording and conversion directly if given the proper command line options (that however is not trivial but reasonably well documented).
Vlc can do the recording and conversion directly if given the proper command line options (that however is not trivial but reasonably well documented). Also there is the library libvlc that you can use to do anything that vlc does; I only used it for playback but I suppose that capturing and saving to file should be not too difficult. You didn't tell your platform, but both vlc and libvlc are windows/linux/osx and so that shouldn't be a big problem.
This is for example a vlc command line I use to start recording from my webcam vlc v4l2:// :v4l2-dev=/dev/video0 :v4l2-width=320 :v4l2-height=240 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=x264,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128} :standard{access=file,dst=capture. Avi}.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
