Windows Graphics Capture only delivers a frame when the captured content
changes, so a static source makes gfxcapture output nothing at all. An
fps filter after it cannot help, since it has no later frame to
duplicate up to, and anything muxed alongside stalls as well.

Add a dup_frames option, like ddagrab has. When no new frame arrived
within one 1/max_framerate interval, output a new reference to the last
frame, or a black frame before the source delivered its first one.
Repeats are stamped with their deadline in the QPC clock, the same clock
as SystemRelativeTime, and the next deadline counts from the previous
one, so timer overshoot shows up neither in the timestamps nor in the
rate. A captured frame timestamped at or before the last output is
bumped to keep timestamps increasing.

The new option is on by default, since the current behaviour is arguably
surprising and clashes with how a lot of the filter chain and the
fftools work.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
