[MEncoder-users] mencoder audio problem

[Chris & Melinda LaForce]

Hello,
I posted the below question on fedoraforum.org but didn't get much help.

Hello,
I am having some problems getting sound when using mencoder to
capture    
video/audio from my camcorder. Video is fine, but when I run the follow 
command and play the output file in mplayer I do not get sound.

mencoder -tv driver=v4l:input=1:width=512:height=384:fps=25:nor m=ntsc
tv://
-ovc copy -oac copy -o file.avi

My plan was to first copy the video/audio to my hard drive with mencoder
and
then encode it with the xvid/mp3lame codecs. I can hear the sound when I
am
running the caputre. The audio out from my caputre card is patched into
my mic
port on my onboard sound card and within the alsamixer the mic is set to
capture.

I'm a beginner at this sort of thing so it's all a bit cloudly. Thanks
for any help.


I have 2 sound cards in my pc one onboard and one pci so someone
suggested I 
add adevice to my command.  So then I tried the command below.

mencoder -tv driver=v4l:input=1:adevice=/dev/dsp:
width=512:height=384:fps=25:norm=ntsc tv:// -ovc copy -oac copy -o
file.avi

This didn't work either.  I need some help.  
Thanks,

Chris
