Hello, I'm having a problem even figuring out how to word my question. I've tried many searches, but I haven't been able to find it.
I'm trying to record a VHS tape to a video file. I have a Hauppauge internal video card (HVR-1255 it shows up as in dmesg, but the label says 1250.) When I try to use any video recorder, I have all kinds of issues. I finally managed to get mplayer to show some video, but it was black and white, and not even very good looking at that. I also tried in TvTime, and it shows a wonderful picture as well as good audio. So my question is, how do I get a look at what settings TvTime is sending to the video driver? If at all possible I would like to duplicate those so that mencoder can capture the video for me. If people know directly, great, but if someone can give me a clue stick on even what terms to search for, I'd be very grateful! If I've left out any important details, please let me know. I'm an engineer, not a linux or computing professional, so while I'm very comfortable with linux, I'm definitely no expert. I have Linux Mint 18 on here, and it's 64 bit.
