Hi! I am using the newest mplayer pre-release and I want to capture video from my TV card. Therefore I use this line:
mencoder -tv driver=v4l:width=320:height=240 tv:// -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=900:max_bframes=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -o bla.avi This works fine but the sound is a little bit distorted (overdriven). Sound is made by ALSA intel8x0 (newest version) and I tried alsamixer to fix this. In order to get sound in my captured files I needed to activate the capture option for "Capture" and "Line". "Line" isn't really needed but doesn't change anything. The volume of "Capture" is at 0. If I set it higher or even to 100, the sound is totally overdriven. And I found out that if I set "Line" to 100 the sound is also distorted when I normally watch TV. I therefore set "Line" to around 74. This means that "Capture" = 0 during recording is the same as "Line" = 100 during playback. It would be very good if I could set 'Capture' to "less than 0" so that it doesn't record at the full volume. I also tried to add 'volume' and 'alsa' to my mencoder-line but this shows no effect. So what can I do? I don't know if this is an ALSA or mplayer related problem, so I posted it here, too.
