How can I capture video from Avermedia device on Ubuntu 14

Asked by Marcellus Amadeus

I have a capture card (AVerMedia C027 ( Dark Crystal HD Capture Pro)) installed and I am trying to access it from FFMPEG. Usually I use the commad: ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="AVerMedia BDA Analog Capture". On Windows it works fine but on Ubuntu 14 I got this message: Unknown input format: 'dshow'.
How can I capture the video using my capture card?

ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="AVerMedia BDA Analog Capture"
