The command you gives does not work. It seems to me that you miss "-tv", so I add it, mencoder says sth. wrong with audio device. I think I can omit chanlist and channel specification in mencoder command, because I can use the command below to watch TV:
mplayer -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420 -vo xv tv:// Maybe mplayer can manage to do its job with defaults. Omitting them will make things a little easier for me. I'm in China, which use china-bcast in xawtv. I try a command in page below, it seems to have similiar problem: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/tv-input.html#tv-examples Below is output of your command after adding "-tv": MEncoder dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Pentium III Katmai/Pentium III Xeon Tanner (Family: 6, Model: 7, Stepping: 3) CPUflags: Type: 6 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. success: format: 9 data: 0x0 - 0x0 TV file format detected.
