Well, I can't say what input to use for you card, but for mine input=0 for tuner input=1 unusued input=2 for composite (what I actually use)
If I don't include input=2, I just get a green screen like yours. You might also want to have a look at the output from your mencoder command - some of the info at the start might help you find the problem.

I also just tried with input 1 instead of 0 input 1 gives me blue screen , as it appears to be the rca in on the card. . 0 I'm sure is probably the correct one , but for some reason , it's not getting the signal from the card , could it be tuning in to the wrong frequency for the channels? I tried a few channels and none of them seem to work .. --Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bikr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 7:23 PM Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] recording.. > It starts recording ok and i'm using input as /dev/video0 if i set it to > video1 or any other video* that is in /dev , it doesnt' do anything at all > just doesn't run , video0 runs but it is all static that is recording.
