It does work for me with mplayer. Thanks for the patch. Maybe it could make its way into the distribution.
I would like very much to record tv programs using mencoder, but it also does not support the PALM norm, and the posted patch does not seem to address it. Could anybody add support for the PALM norm to mencoder?
MEncoder and MPleyer share the same v4l backend. Have you tried the patched mencoder at all?
Yes, I have tried mencoder \ -tv on:driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0:norm=palm:width=768:height=576 \ -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=900 \ -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64 \ -vop pp=lb,crop=720:540:24:18 \ -o output.avi which gives some error messsages. After removing the -vop option from the command above, it works. As I am new to mplayer, I do not know how to use it well yet. The above command was based on an example from the manual. Another question: is it possible to watch TV while recording? How? Thanks for the help.
