raspivid -o vid.h264
raspivid -o video.h264 -t 10000
raspivid Camera App v1.3.12
Display camera output to display, and optionally saves an H264 capture at requested bitrate
usage: raspivid [options]
Image parameter commands
-?, --help : This help information
-w, --width : Set image width <size>. Default 1920
-h, --height : Set image height <size>. Default 1080
-b, --bitrate : Set bitrate. Use bits per second (e.g. 10MBits/s would be -b 10000000)
-o, --output : Output filename <filename> (to write to stdout, use '-o -').
Connect to a remote IPv4 host (e.g. tcp://192.168.1.2:1234, udp://192.168.1.2:1234)
To listen on a TCP port (IPv4) and wait for an incoming connection use -l
(e.g. raspvid -l -o tcp://0.0.0.0:3333 -> bind to all network interfaces, raspvid -l -o tcp://192.168.1.1:3333 -> bind to a certain local IPv4)
-v, --verbose : Output verbose information during run

-fps, --framerate : Specify the frames per second to record
-e, --penc : Display preview image *after* encoding (shows compression artifacts)

-i, --initial : Initial state. Use 'record' or 'pause'. Default 'record'
-qp, --qp : Quantisation parameter. Use approximately 10-40. Default 0 (off)
-ih, --inline : Insert inline headers (SPS, PPS) to stream
-sg, --segment : Segment output file in to multiple files at specified interval <ms>
-wr, --wrap : In segment mode, wrap any numbered filename back to 1 when reach number
-sn, --start : In segment mode, start with specified segment number
-sp, --split : In wait mode, create new output file for each start event
-c, --circular : Run encoded data through circular buffer until triggered then save
-x, --vectors : Output filename <filename> for inline motion vectors
-cs, --camselect : Select camera <number>. Default 0
-set, --settings : Retrieve camera settings and write to stdout
-md, --mode : Force sensor mode. 0=auto. See docs for other modes available
-if, --irefresh : Set intra refresh type
-fl, --flush : Flush buffers in order to decrease latency
-pts, --save-pts : Save Timestamps to file for mkvmerge
-cd, --codec : Specify the codec to use - H264 (default) or MJPEG
-lev, --level : Specify H264 level to use for encoding
-r, --raw : Output filename <filename> for raw video
-rf, --raw-format : Specify output format for raw video. Default is yuv
-l, --listen : Listen on a TCP socket
