 I have a USB camera that is capable of H.264 on-board compression.  I use
 the following FFmpeg command line to grab the encoded H.264 from the
 camera at 30fps and a resolution of 1280x720, and put it in a 'flv'
 container:


 {{{
 ffmpeg -y -f dshow -video_size 1280x720 -framerate 30 -vcodec h264 -i
 video="USB Camera" -vcodec copy
  -copyinkf -f flv c:\temp\test.flv
 }}}

 The problem is that the FFmpeg input stream seems to think it is receiving
 30fps but the actual output from FFmpeg shows only 5fps.  See FFmpeg
 standard output below :

 ffmpeg -y -f dshow -video_size 1280x720 -framerate 30 -vcodec h264 -i
 video="USB Camera" -vcodec copy -copyinkf -f flv c:\temp\test.flv[[BR]]

 Not sure if there is something I am missing on the command line?  Any
 suggestions would be much appreciated.
