Hello All.

What's a simple command line program for recording an mpeg from a
hauppauge tv card?

Thanks

I kinda figured noone would know. I've tried ffmpeg, nvrec and fftv
and they just didn't work quite right, or didn't compile. Too many
people want the gui front end (freevo, mythtv) and don't know the
command line any more. This works for me. Mencoder is included with
Mplayer - you must download the Mplayer package from either
www.mplayerhq.com or your distro. Here is a command line for recording
from the tv card to an avi file. Be sure to load your rtc (real time
clock) module, and don't run any NTP or time server synching software.
THere is a repetitive pause in the output not sure why yet, but hope
this helps someone else.
