Hi Carl --
Well , I thought about that but mencoder terminates on its own.
I specify the time length as in: 00:30:00, the command with desired video
codec options looks like this:

mencoder -ffourcc XVID -ovc lavc  \

            -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mv0:trell:v4mv:vbitrate=1000:aspect=4/3 \

            -nosound -endpos 00:30:00 \

            -tv
driver=v4l2:norm=ntsc:input=2:device=/dev/video0:width=640:height=480:fps=10
\

            -quiet \

            -o recordedvideo.avi tv://



Is something not right here?
