# Usage: livedump [FORMAT [BASESTEM [SESSIONPATTERN [SEGMENTPATTERN]]]]
#
#   Patterns are fed through "date +PATTERN"
#
# Examples: livedump
#           livedump dv ./dump /%Y%m%d/%H%M%S /%H%M%S
#           livedump dv-avi
#
#   First two examples effectively identical, using defaults.
#   Third example using AVI container instead
#
# Description: Save live source to file and append if interupted.
# By default captures IEC61883 DVCPRO stream from IEEE1394 (Firewire)
# device, some of which apparently sustaining streams max. 17 minutes.
#
# Depends: ffmpeg
