Dear List, I have had this problem ever since I bought my laptop. :( I can't find _any_ program I could use to record video using my laptops integrated webcam.. neither mencoder nor ffmpeg works.. ---------- sampsa@linux-ty84:~/video> mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video:width=640:height=480:forceaudio -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=mp3 -ffourcc divx -o test.avi MEncoder 1.0rc2-openSUSE Linux 11.0 (x86_64)-Packman-4.3 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 (Family: 15, Model: 104, Stepping: 1) 3DNow supported but disabled 3DNowExt supported but disabled CPUflags: Type: 15 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 success: format: 9 data: 0x0 - 0x0 TV file format detected.

Is anyone aware of a bugfix for mplayer or some other program that would do the trick?
