This is what I have in the local_conf.py file:
VCR_AUDIO = (':adevice=%s' % AUDIO_DEVICE +
':audiorate=32000' + # 44100 for better sound
':forceaudio:forcechan=1:' + # Forced mono for bug in my driver
'buffersize=64') # 64MB capture buffer, change?
# TV capture size for viewing and recording. Max 768x480 for NTSC,
# 768x576 for PAL. Set lower if you have a slow computer!
#
# For the 'tvtime' TV viewing application, only the horizontal size is used.
# Set the horizontal size to 400 or 480 if you have a slow (~500MHz) computer,
# it still looks OK, and the picture will not be as jerky.
# The vertical size is always either fullscreen or 480/576 (NTSC/PAL)
# for tvtime.
TV_VIEW_SIZE = (640, 480)
TV_REC_SIZE = (320, 240) # Default for slower computers
# Input formats for viewing and recording. The format affect viewing
# and recording performance. It is specific to your hardware, so read
# the MPlayer docs and experiment with mplayer to see which one fits
# your computer best.
TV_VIEW_OUTFMT = 'yuy2' # Better quality, slower on pure FB/X11
TV_REC_OUTFMT = 'yuy2'
# XXX Please see the mencoder docs for more info about the settings
# XXX below. Some stuff must be changed (adevice), others probably
# XXX should be ("Change"), or could be in some cases ("change?")
#VCR_CMD = ('/root/bin/record.sh %(channel)s %(seconds)s "%(filename)s"')
VCR_CMD = (CONF.mencoder + ' ' +
'tv:// ' + # New mplayer requires this.
'-tv driver=%s:input=%d' % (TV_DRIVER, TV_INPUT) +
':norm=%s' % CONF.tv +
':channel=%(channel)s' + # Filled in by Freevo
':chanlist=%s' % CONF.chanlist +
':width=%d:height=%d' % (TV_REC_SIZE[0], TV_REC_SIZE[1]) +
':outfmt=%s' % TV_REC_OUTFMT +
':device=%s' % TV_DEVICE +
VCR_AUDIO + # set above
' -ovc lavc -lavcopts ' + # Mencoder lavcodec video codec
'vcodec=mpeg4' + # lavcodec mpeg-4
':vbitrate=1200:' + # Change lower/higher, bitrate
'keyint=30 ' + # Keyframe every 10 secs, change?
'-oac mp3lame -lameopts ' + # Use Lame for MP3 encoding, must
be enabled in mencoder!
'br=128:cbr:mode=3 ' + # MP3 const. bitrate, 128 kbit/s
'-ffourcc divx ' + # Force 'divx' ident, better compat.
'-endpos %(seconds)s ' + # only mencoder uses this so do it

'-o %(filename)s') # Filled in by Freevo
And this is what's in the main log file:
