It has been awhile since I've done any bash prompt commands, but before that,
I have to tell it what to capture first. IE: right this moment, the unit is set
to watch TV, so it is just capturing what ever channel is on, and not the Tape.
I'm pretty sure I can pass that on to it though. Good advice. I'll have to go
try to find that on the web somewhere.

try it without tv-viewer simply by using the command
cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg
while the VCR is playing.
Then open the test.mpg file with vlc. You can watch it while it is
recording.
Let' s see if this recording works or if again any encoder command
errors appear
You can check this in another console with
tail -f /var/log/syslog
