I (well, actually my SO) happened to have one of those Logitec "ball" webcams that can pan and tilt and zoom. Installed the driver, stick it in and it worked, with both pwcview and mplayer with [c]sif/25fps or lower and with vga/15fps or lower. Needless to say I confiscated the camera ;-) I think I'm going to add this to kbtv and if panning/tilting works have that instead of channel up/down - as it has for for TV cards - when the pwc driver is selected. Nice work!

I can set it even to 0 or to 100, but no volume change could be heard. Anyway, I can adjust the volume by 'pcm' and 'ogain' settings of the mixer. With default mixer settings the volume is low. I should set the 'ogain' to 80, so a music from XMMS could be well heard with middle values of the 'pcm'. By default XMMS uses the 'pcm' for its volume control. The problem is even more annoying when I return from a single user mode and the mixer settings are switched to their defaults. By the way, could the /etc/rc.d/mixer script be teached to not save the settings during a shutdown if it didn't set them during the last boot?

Yes. What exactly is wrong with MPEG-2 in your opinion? > I'd like to know the best way to preserve the same quality > from the cat command using ffmpeg. ffmpeg decodes from MPEG format and then re-encodes it, which is lossy, so you can never preserver the same quality. That is, unless you use "copy" for the codec, which means it won't decode/encode anything -- but then it's just like teh cat command anyway, with a hundred times the overhead. > Am I starting to make sense now?

The problem here is, that mencoder does not save (enough) bitrate in case of slow movements for bad times, where the pictures change more rapidly... So that I have "very" good quality when the pictures dont change and quite bad quality when the people run quickly for some seconds or when there many cuts in the movie for some seconds... Does somebody know, if one can get a certain constant quality instead of a certain nearly constant bitrate? :-)) -Arne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Bitrate is very high of course, but usually I don't know if I want to keep the captured programme or not. This produces very good quality captures. If the captured programme is a keeper, I use another script to reencode it to mpeg4. #/bin/sh! echo "Enter time in minutes" echo "Setting mixer values to: " mixer =rec line mixer vol 75 mixer pcm 75 mixer line 00 mixer rec 60 mixer ogain 40 if [ -z "$1" ] || [ -z "$2" ]; then echo "" echo "usage: tvrec_ffmpeg.sh
