Hi, It was very long since you have posted your question, but if you haven't found solution please look at the bttv-HOWTO at http://www.linux.com/howtos/BTTV/recording.shtml It was very helpfull for me with one change: I could not make btaudio working, but finally managed to record AVI with audio via line input of the primary sound card:
$ amixer -c 0 cget name='Capture Source' numid=30,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Source' ; type=ENUMERATED,access=rw---,values=2,items=8 ; Item #0 'Mic' ; Item #1 'CD' ; Item #2 'Video' ; Item #3 'Aux' ; Item #4 'Line' ; Item #5 'Mix' ; Item #6 'Mix Mono' ; Item #7 'Phone' : values=4,4 $ amixer cset name='Capture Source' 4 numid=30,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Source' ; type=ENUMERATED,access=rw---,values=2,items=8 ; Item #0 'Mic' ; Item #1 'CD' ; Item #2 'Video' ; Item #3 'Aux' ; Item #4 'Line' ; Item #5 'Mix' ; Item #6 'Mix Mono' ; Item #7 'Phone' : values=4,4 $ amixer cset name='Capture Volume' 15 numid=32,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Volume' ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---,values=2,min=0,max=15,step=0 : values=15,15 then: $ streamer -t 00:10 -r 25 -a -F stereo -o movie.avi Regards, Marek > Greetings- trying to track down a problem wherein I can watch, but not > record, fine from a video4linux input.
