hi, I missed the -tv indeed What about the mencoder commands there from the link http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/tv-input.html#tv-examples do they don't work? I guess no, because otherwise you wouldn't be posting here mencoder -tv driver=v4l2:width=768:height=576:chanlist=china-bcast \ -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64 \ -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=900:autoaspect=1 \ -vf scale,pp=lb -o output.avi tv://<CHANNEL> Can you try this command and replace <CHANNEL> with the channel you want to record? If you miss the channel then I guess the last one you've tuned the receiver will be captured. When recording no other application should be running that uses your tv card like xawtv or similar. May be you have tried to watch and record at the same time? If you want to do this you better start mencoder to record the stream and run mplayer output.avi to watch the stream while recording. I changed the v4l to v4l2, because I think the howto is a bit outdated. You can try both if it's not working and if you want. I also added the chanlist and autoaspect option and instead cropping I use scale filter. I hope this will work. Have a look at the output.avi file and post output if there are problems like you did now. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
