Hi, I used to have it working, but I cannot find how to get that working again: I have a webcam installed, webcamd running, and pwcview can show me the video. How can I use mencoder to capture and save the stream? I used to have something of the form: /usr/local/bin/mencoder tv:// -tv noaudio:fps=10 -nosound -ovc lavc -ofps 10 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=400 -o <filename> -really-quiet but it now complains that: tvi_bsdbt848: Unable to open bktr device. Error: No such file or directory tvi_bsdbt848: Unable to open tuner device. Error: No such file or directory tvi_bsdbt848: Unable to open dsp device. Error: Operation not supported So what is the secret command to get mencoder grab the video stream from the webcam? Thanks in advance, Olivier --
