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.

Thanks,
Erik
