NAME
       pvr-record - description

SYNOPSIS
       pvr-record [ -dhtvf ] [ -D [hh:mm:ss] -r [rate] ]
       [ -F [hh:mm:ss] -s [MB] ] [ -o [file] ]

DESCRIPTION
       pvr-record encapsulates a variety of command-line options
       to transcode and nvrec for capturing and compressing v4l
       video on the fly.

STANDARD OPTIONS
       -d --debug

       Enables debugging code.

       -h --help

       Prints this information.

       -t --test

       Prints what will happen without performing the operations.

       -v --version

       Prints version information.

OPTIONS
       -D --duration [hh:mm:ss]

       Length of recording time in hh:mm:ss.

       -F --fit [hh:mm:ss]

       Adjust the bitrate automatically such that the specified
       recording time (hh:mm:ss) fits withing a given file size.
       This option is used in conjunction with the "--size" flag.

       This command is useful for acheiving the best possible
       data rate given a file-size restriction.

       -f --force

       Force low-quality encoding at very low bitrates.  This may
       be required when using the "--fit" flag.

       -r --rate [kb/s]

       Set the encoding rate in kb/s.

       100  : 100 MB/hr : 7.0 hr/cd : very low

       200  : 155 MB/hr : 4.5 hr/cd : low

       275  : 200 MB/hr : 3.5 hr/cd : gnapster

       375  : 225 MB/hr : 3.1 hr/cd : med

       600  : 330 MB/hr : 2.1 hr/cd : CD movie

       1250 : 700 MB/hr : 1.0 hr/cd : high quality

       1500 : 840 MB/hr :  50 m/cd  : super high

       -R --resolution [hxw]

       Specify the resolution in pixels (hxw).  This option is
       not yet implemented and hard-coded to "320x240".

       -o --output [file]

       Output file name.  Defaults to
       "pvr-yyyy-mm-dd-hh:mm:ss.mp4" if not specified.

       -s --size --cd [MB]

       Size of output file in MB.  If unspecified, the default
       value is 700 MB is used.  Only used in conjunction with
       the "--fit" flag.

EXAMPLE
       The example below will record indefinitely until CTRL-C is
       pressed.

       pvr-record -o output.mp4

       The example below will record for 30 minutes.

       pvr-record -d 00:30:00 -o output.mp4

       The example below will set the data rate to fit a 3.5-hour
       movie onto a 650-MB file.

       pvr-record -F 03:30:00 -s 650 -o output.mp4

BUGS
       None.

Q:	How many journalists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A:	Three.  One to report it as an inspired government program to bring
	light to the people, one to report it as a diabolical government plot
	to deprive the poor of darkness, and one to win a Pulitzer prize for
	reporting that Electric Company hired a light bulb-assassin to break
	the bulb in the first place.
