[FFmpeg-user] Newbie needs help on capture video/audio using ffmpeg on RPI

[Ram Shaffir]

Got some progress, using the command below bypassed the two errors ('[video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x2015cd0] Error allocating a packet.' And '/dev/video0: Cannot allocate memory') also, CPU is around 25% and recording time is much longer now.

However, I get a new problem and other issues; the major problem is that the output is "fast forward", I guess due to the:
'[video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0xd4cd70] The driver changed the time per frame from 1/30 to 117/7013'

And there are two repeating alerts that I'm not sure their severities:
'ALSA buffer xrun'
and
'Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:1;....'

My latest command is:
ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -thread_queue_size 10000 -f alsa -ac 2 -itsoffset 1.5 -i hw:1,0 -r 30 -thread_queue_size 10000 -re -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -vcodec h264_omx -acodec ac3 -ab 51k -qmin 16 -qmax 16 -b:v 6M -maxrate:v 100M -bufsize 100M -strict experimental -flags +global_header -f mp4 /usr/ramDisk/h264_omx.mp4
