[MEncoder-users] [MEncoder] Trying to record from a Hauppauge WinTV Express

[Gregory Sacre]

Hello,

I'm trying to record TV with mencoder but i always have the same problem. I
tryed to look on google for it, but didn't find a good answer.
I have to say first that i can watch TV with mplayer.
Here is the command i'm using to try to record:

mencoder -tv
driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0:input=0:width=720:height=576:channel=E6:norm=pal
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=900 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=96
-vf crop=720:544:24:16,pp=lb -o output.avi tv://

Here is what the outpu says:

greg at Phoebe fun $ mencoder -tv
driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0:input=0:width=720:eight=576:channel=E6:norm=pal
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=900 -oa mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=96
-vf crop=720:544:24:16,pp=lb -o output.avi tv://  MEncoder

Exiting...


I don't know from where it could come from... Is it something related to my TV
card or my configuration?
I have the latest snapshot of mplayer (and mencoder).

Thanks for helping me :)

Greg
