Thanks... The reason why I wanted to use mencoder instead of ffmpeg is that with the latter, when I tried to capture webcam and audio together, especially with my old laptop (but partially also with my new desktop pc), I've been banged against `a sea of troubles': sync problems, video freezing, video stuttering, background noise, output interrupted... whereas with mencoder and the command I posted above everything went fine at first try. So that, with desktop capture, I had to give up the idea of recording video and audio together and am recording them separately... Regards, Rodolfo
