[MPlayer-users] can't record with mencoder

[debian at comhem.se]

I use Gentoo linux and I'm trying to record with mencoder (1.0-pre5 ) but I 
have no success. I need some help with this...


This is the command I use

mencoder tv:// 
on:driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0:width=640:height=480:channel=E5 -o foo.avi 
-ofps 25 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=1500 -oac mp3lame 



And the result:
