Hi Manne & List..

stupid me.. I can also use mplayer to record my webcam (no need for mencoder).

So here it comes, the command for recording video from a usb 2.0 webcam (at least in the case of a hp pavilion tx1320 laptop with a sonix webcam):

mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:fps=10 -vo yuv4mpeg:file=paska.mpeg

Thank you for directing me to the direction of mplayer (instead of mencoder) !

Glad it works. Just for interest sake, did you add the fps=10 to mencoder and it still didn't work? Manne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
