I have a rapsberry with ffmpeg installed and a microsoft hd3000 cam installed
I run the following command:
ffserver -f /etc/ffserver.conf & ffmpeg -framerate 21 -re -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i sysdefault:CARD=HD3000 http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm
and i get the following:
/etc/ffserver.conf:164: Setting default value for video bit rate tolerance = 16000. Use NoDefaults to disable it.
/etc/ffserver.conf:164: Setting default value for video rate control equation = tex^qComp. Use NoDefaults to disable it.
/etc/ffserver.conf:164: Setting default value for video max rate = 6229744. Use NoDefaults to disable it.
/etc/ffserver.conf:219: Setting default value for audio sample rate = 22050. Use NoDefaults to disable it.
/etc/ffserver.conf:219: Setting default value for audio channel count = 1. Use NoDefaults to disable it.
/etc/ffserver.conf:219: Setting default value for video bit rate tolerance = 64000. Use NoDefaults to disable it.

I use the default /etc/ffserver.conf.
I can't seem to figur out what is the problem.

Answer 1

MPEG-1/2 does not support 3/1 fps
This is the error that is causing the failure. Although you set a frame rate of 21 it appears the webcam is changing it.
From the ffmpeg side you have two options:
Use a different encoder other than mpeg1video/mpeg2video that can support arbitrary frame rates, or
If you want to keep using mpeg1video see the -r and/or -vsync options to properly deal with the output frame rate.
Note that ffserver is being planned for removal soon from FFmpeg. You may want to find an alternative.
