both sound and video now but i am having real problems with the amount
of processing power that mencoder uses this is the command i use

nice -n19 /home/mustafa/source_compile/mplayer_1.0/bin/mencoder tv://
-tv device=/dev/video0:driver=v4l2:freq=312.25:saturation=100:volume=100
-oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64  -ofps 23 -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=600 -o /store/match3.avi
