It's got 4 video inputs. I'm trying to record video, no audio from all 4 channels of the card using mencoder. I use fxtv to display video on the seperate channels. I get video on all of them. This is the command I use fxtv -disableDirectV -inputFormat paln -deviceNumber 0 fxtv -disableDirectV -inputFormat paln -deviceNumber 1 fxtv -disableDirectV -inputFormat paln -deviceNumber 2 fxtv -disableDirectV -inputFormat paln -deviceNumber 3 So i got video on all of them, but when I record using mencoder I only get video on the first device. Device (1,2 and 3) got no video(blue screen). But from fxtv it works fine. mencoder -tv device=/dev/bktr0,/dev/tuner0:driver=bsdbt848:width=640:height=480:norm=pal tv:// -o tv.avi -ovc lavc -nosound mencoder -tv device=/dev/bktr1,/dev/tuner1:driver=bsdbt848:width=640:height=480:norm=pal tv:// -o tv.avi -ovc lavc -nosound mencoder -tv device=/dev/bktr2,/dev/tuner2:driver=bsdbt848:width=640:height=480:norm=pal tv:// -o tv.avi -ovc lavc -nosound mencoder -tv device=/dev/bktr3,/dev/tuner3:driver=bsdbt848:width=640:height=480:norm=pal tv:// -o tv.avi -ovc lavc -nosound I have read the man pages for mencoder, but still no joy. Its probally a syntax problem. Can anyone please help me. THANKS!! Regards lou
