I'm trying to capture video from webcam. I tried with codec libx264 and rawvideo but both result in slow speed (about 0.5).
I'm using Windows 10, intel core i5, 8gb ram. download ffmpeg from: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/
I use this command:
output:Code:ffmpeg ^ -f dshow -r 5 -s 640x480 -i video="Sony Visual Communication Camera" ^ -f rawvideo output.raw

task manager: cpu, ram, disk basically low.
If I try recoding with command above and change fps to 30: "-r 30" . the result is: fps 7.9, speed 0.261. cpu usage is still low about 0.1%.
But I can easily record 30fps webcam using Directshow GraphEdit:

So my question is why does ffmpeg produce such poor performance even with 5 fps? Any help is appreciated.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

@october262 I believe I said trying with -r 30 in my first post. But unfortunately, it didn't work. the speed is around 0.3 and fps is 8.
