The command:

Will display input via composite2 on the screen but I want to save to a
file on disk. I presume -dumpfile & -dumpstream will do what I want but
What alteration do I make to achieve this?
TIA

mythtv?
seriously folks! I am pretty sure you need to use mencoder to record tv
(mencoder is the transcoding companion to mplayer)
Encode from a tuner (specify a format with -vf format):
mencoder -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480 tv:// -o tv.avi -ovc raw
is what the mplayer/mencoder man page suggests
plus whatever other paramaters you needed from your mplayer line, I would
suggest the following, combinig your mplayer line with the above:
mencoder -tv input=2:driver=v4l:width=640:height=480 tv:// -o tv.avi -ovc raw
you won't be watching at the same time, but you can run simultaneously
mplayer tv.avi
if you cpu can hack encoding and decoding at the same time.
Thanks Nick, will try that later. I have been through the man page (all
600+ lines)& html doc.
I havnt got mythtv working yet.
