Hi, I have a machine running FreeBSD 6.4. I can hardly upgrade it because it is more or less an embeded system. Until recently I was reccording video through a video graber card (brooktree I think), with mencoder, but the card died. The easiest way would be to use a USB camera; I plugged one in and it came as /dev/ugen0. When I try to use mplayer, it tells me that the driver v4l2 does not exist, nor v4l. Current version of mplayer/mencoder is 1.0rc2-3.4.6, I tried to compile the latest version, but I have issue with the Makefile in the ports. So the question is, what else could I use to record a video (command line). Best regards, Olivier
