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
