Sure, you can open the device directly with mencoder (mplayer) for example and make it encode into divx4 + mp3 [1]. Check the online docs for mplayer at [2] Greets, Sander [1] mencoder -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o test.avi /dev/video0 [2] http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/index.html _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
