[MEncoder-users] capture video from DC30plus (aka DC30+)

[Ingo Lantschner (Lists)]

Hi all,
I have a Miro/Pinacle DC30plus installed. My OS is fedora Core 2. I try
to capture Videofilm I have on VHS from a recorder plugged into the
composite plug of the DC30plus.

Using this command (all on one line):

$ mencoder -tv
driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:input=0:width=384:height=288:fps=25:noaudio
tv:// -o ouputfile.avi


I get this output:

Does anyone have an idea, which causes this "Segmentaion Fault"? Or wich
argument is invalid?!
