Intervals can be specified in number of ways, see [[vcs:time_syntax|Time/Interval syntax]] for details. To take a capture every minute you could use ''$ vcs -i 1m file.avi''. ''vcs'' will show how many captures will make in total while working, e.g.: | Intervals can be specified in number of ways, see [[vcs:docs:time_syntax|Time/Interval syntax]] for details.
