Sorry for duplicate message: I get the "does not appear to be a video file" error. this has only been an issue since upgrading to the new svn (4.1) worked fine in 3.11 > > I have been working around mencoder wanting to open the TV card as PAL > > broadcast by using xawtv as the player whilst recording live input, then > > switching back to usr/bin/mencoder for adding audio, or editng tracks > > with audio.

How about if you set the width, height and fps in LiVES ? Yes and No. Yes mplayer defaults to PAL which makes sense, based on the geograpy. Mplayer doesn't seen to have a way to change the default thru GUI and I don't know where to find the lines of code to change from PAL and "input0" to NTSC and "input1" That's all it would take. Two lines of code. If only I knew where. I tried launchpad and mencoder's site forums, but no luck so far. Changing the width height, fps etc in LiVEs doesn't do much; the card is being opened in the wrong format by Mencoder/mplayer. Lives just tries and do the best it can with the corrupt data Mplayer sends it. The reason the capture card works for me with xawtv or tvtime set as the player for LiVes is both of those apps let me to the card's input settings. Again, somewhere there are two lines I could change in Mplayer/mencoder, but I don't seem to be able to find them. > > I have been able to do some pretty good capture, considering it all is > > old magnetic tape I'm sourcing from.
