Hi,

right direction.

sorry, did not come along to hat problem, because ...
... using this commandline:
$ mencoder -tv 
driver=v4l:input=0:width=384:height=288:fps=25:adevice=/dev/dsp:audiorate=44100:forceaudio:forcechan=2 
-oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:preset=192 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts 
bitrate=1600 tv:// ouputfile.avi
I get this output and the command exits to the promp:
[...]
ioctl set picture failed: Invalid argument
Segmentation fault
---
Seems as if one of the many arguments above is not correct. I have a 
Pinacle/Miro DC30plus (aka DC30+), so may be one of the above options is 
not ok for it. I will go trough them step by step, but maybe someone 
here knows already what to change. (The first thing I already found 
myself: input must be set to 0 for composite on the DC30plus)

TIA, Ingo
