Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL. GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0.GstPad:src: caps = video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)YUY2, width=(int)320, height=(int)240, interlaced=(boolean)false, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, framerate=(fraction)100/1 Now only 0.1sec overhead was added to video taking time (Execution ended after 3116775270 ns):Ĭode: Select all $ gst-launch-0.10 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=300 ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=320,height=240, framerate=100/1 ! videoscale ! timeoverlay ! avimux ! filesink location=/dev/shm/x.avi I resolved that by outputting file into /dev/shm (memory filesystem).

It turned out that storing on SD card was bottleneck. Unfortunately a 3sec video took more than 5sec to record.

After some playing I was able to setup a 100fps pipeline that stored video as file. Then I remembered gstreamer library (I showed how to stream with it with PI here). I tried ffmpeg to capture normal low fps video from PS3 Eye, but only ran into problems, too much frame losses, unreliable. USB Camera-B4.09.24.1 $ v4l2-ctl -list-formats-ext -d /dev/video0Ĭapturing and storing 100fps PS3 Eye 320x240 video with Pi ZeroW I was not impressed by the 640x480 modes, but definitely was from the many >100fps 320x240 $ v4l2-ctl -list-devices PS3 Eye modes available under Linux/RaspbianĪfter I received PS3 Eye, I attached it to Pi ZeroW and some googling showed how to determine the modes available. That speaks of 187fps support addition to Linux kernel for PS3 Eye:Īt that point I searched where to get and what price, and ordered on amazon for 10$. It mentioned Sony PS3 Eye camera as being able to do as USB webcam: Last week I googled for alternative high framerate cameras and stumbled over this posting: I also want to go with higher fps with that camera, and 6by9's cool 'raspiraw' might even make >300fps possible. I really like to take 90fps 640x480 videos with Pi camera v1.

In next posting I will give some questions that remain. I was able to get PS3 Eye camera record 100fps 320x240 video with Raspberry Pi ZeroW, and will describe what I was able to find out and do in this posting.
