ffmpeg recording with low FPS

[FinlayDaG33k]

Hii there,
so I'm trying to get my pi to be a portable recording box...
but unfortunately I can only get unworkable results so far.

I get very low FPS (about 7FPS) and very bad audio (just a bunch of noise with the actual thing it should record, which cuts off all the time) using ffmpeg.

here is the command that I'm using:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -thread_queue_size 12 -s hd720 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i hw:1,0 -qscale 0 "test.mp4"

is there some way to make it run properly? (not that noise and extremely laggy video?)
For demonstration on how it is now, I have uploaded this video to my youtube so you can get a bit of a view on how terrible it runs now..

That's probably using software encoding rather than the HW encoder which is good for 1080p30.

What are you trying to record, from where with what desired results?

I am trying to record my webcam, and I expect it to well... record decent quality videos with fully working audio without all the lag.
