Ok I've got mplayer to work but when I try to use menoder here is the error message that I get

Code:

a few questions what is the codecs.conf I cant find any mention iof it in the documentation or the man pages. Also what is frameno.avi. How can I install other codecs.

What command did you use?

**bignester** · 01-13-2004

this is the command that i got from freevo

/usr/local/bin/mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:input=0:norm=ntsc:channel=6:chanlist =us-cable:width=320:height=240:outfmt=yuy2:device=/dev/video0:adevice=/dev/dsp:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:forcechan=1:buffers ize=64 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1200:keyint=30 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=128:cbr:mode=3 -ffourcc
divx -endpos 1788 -o /home/adam/shows//01-12_19:00_Happy_Gilmore_-_.avi

I also used the example commands from the MPlayer documentation

I think Iv'e fixed first problem but how do I compile with mp3lame support I cant find anything about lame in the documentation except on how to use it.

**Dolda2000** · 01-13-2004

Are you sure that you have mp3lame installed? No distributions ship it since MP3 encoding is patented by Fraunhofer Labs.

**bignester** · 01-13-2004

I installed it and I recompiled the MPlayer. I figured out that my problem was that Freevo uses MPlayer 0.92 and I had 1.0pre3 so I had to compile 0.92 and use that one instead. Anyway here is another question. Now when I try to encode from the tvtuner card I get video but I dont get good sound. here is the command

Code:

/usr/local/bin/mencoder -tv \
on&#58;driver=v4l&#58;input=0&#58;norm=ntsc&#58;channel=6&#58;chanlist=us-cable&#58;width=320&#58;\
height=240&#58;outfmt=yuy2&#58;device=/dev/video0&#58;adevice=/dev/dsp&#58;audiorate=32000&#58;forceaudio&#58;forcechan=1&#58;buffersize=64 \
 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4&#58;vbitrate=1200&#58;keyint=30 -oac \
 mp3lame -lameopts br=128&#58;cbr&#58;mode=3 -ffourcc divx -endpos \
 1788 -o /home/adam/shows//01-12_19&#58;00_Happy_Gilmore_-_.avi

Is there another audio device for the huappege card that I am using. I noticed it had a line in and a line out for audio. Right I have a cord that runs the line out to my line in on my audio card. So should I use a different device for audio recording instead of dsp.

**Dolda2000** · 01-13-2004

No, you should use /dev/dsp, but maybe your mixer settings are off a bit? What kind of error is in the sound? Does it sound like noise, clipping, distortion, etc.?

**bignester** · 01-13-2004

Yeah its a bunch of clicking noises.

**Dolda2000** · 01-13-2004

Hmm... can you post one of the captured files somewhere on the internet as to provide a listening sample?
