Things will get better. There are a lot of easier things than recording or editing videos.

That should do it. I still think you got something wrong, the command should look like that if you want to record for a longer time: lavrec -f a -i P -d 2 -q 80 -s -l 60 -R l -U /Data/newbyhall%02d.avi Than you should only get files where the %02d is replaced by 00, 01, 02 ... 99. And you can use the %02d naming for other tools like lavplay/galv too: glav -p S newbyhall%02d.avi Same for lav2yuv: lav2yuv newbyhall%02d.avi | .... If you know how long you want to recrod you just have to add the -t option and add as argument a value, where the value is the recording time in seconds. So if you wnat to record for an hour, you add: -t 3600 auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562&alloc_id=6184&op=click _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
