Hi Bhavana,
raspivid usually has default FPS (25 or 30). Try to set FPS directly in your raspivid settings, like this:
-fps 30
or
--framerate 30

You can find more details here:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... /camera.md

By the way, how do you estimate your FPS?

Helloo..
I have changed the -fps in raspivid then also im able to get only 25,whatever i gave it showing only 25fps.

Reffered this but it is not solving.

By the way, how do you estimate your FPS?
I'm just checking for HD and VGA resolution(without giving -fps)then also it is giving 25. how to come out of this?

Thanks and regards

Bhavana, you say you see 25 fps.
Where did you get this number? How did you measured your FPS?

Raw h264 video can have a wrong timings, and VLC will show you incorrect FPS. It's better to use another FPS measuring tools, like calculating by OpenCV (as you use it for processing). 25 FPS is often used by VLC as default, if actual FPS can not be calculated. In my C++ code I was able to get up to 90 FPS, so 25 looks a bit strange.

All exposure and other parameters are described here, with details and examples:
