My log of attempts so far: 1. mencoder. I couldn't get mencoder to work at all, used something like this: mencoder -cache 128 -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420:fps=60:forceaudio:adevice=/dev/dsp:immediatemode=0:forceaudio tv:// -oac copy -ovc copy -o test.avi which led to a "floating point exception" 2. cheese. All i see is the gstreamer test video input signal, even though I set it correctly in gstreamer-properties and even the preview works. 3. gstreamer. When running gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src device="/dev/video0" ! xvimagesink I get a nice video, but its framerate is way too low and there is a ~1sec delay; this is unacceptable. when i try to set framerate=60, it claims to not know the framerate option, even though the documentation clearly states its existance. 4. ffmpeg. when running ffplay -f video4linux2 /dev/video0 -s 640x480, I get "[video4linux2 @ 0xb801f680]The v4l2 frame is 614400 bytes, but 460800 bytes are expected" multiple times. when using any of the two libv4l shared libraries I get half a second worth of frames out of it, then the image freezes and i get "[video4linux2 @ 0xb7f49680]ioctl(VIDIOC_DQBUF): Input/output error". 5. spcaview. (when using the preloads) Video is fine, recorded from wrong microphone, mv'd /dev/dsp1 to /dev/dsp, but now I get really bad sound - everytime there is sound, it sounds really trashy. I am out of ideas now. I appreciate any pointers in the right direction :) - Timo -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
