Grab a video still frame for use by screen savers
Usage

Overview
The xscreensaver-getimage-video program is a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. Specifically, it is invoked by xscreensaver-getimage(6x) as needed.
It grabs a single frame of video from the system's video input to a file, and prints the name of that file on stdout. It does this by figuring out which frame-grabbing programs are installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds.
Options
xscreensaver-getimage-video accepts the following options:
-
--verbose -
Print diagnostics.
