If it's any help at all, I generally use mencoder to capture stuff
from my freeview box / camcorder. I have a LeadTek WinFast 2000 card,
so the settings may be a little different, but the relevant part of my
script is below:
mencoder tv:// -tv
driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:input=2:width=768:height=576:norm=pal
-oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=5000 -vf crop=720:544:24:16,pp=lb -af volume=-10
-ffourcc divx 1>/home/davo/video/mencoder-out.txt 2>&1 -o
/home/davo/video/$vidfile.avi
This captures a 5000bps mpeg4 with mp3 audio at 128bps.
I hope that is helpful in some way,
Davo
