Okay, figured it out, and thought I would post the fix for future folk fishing for facts...
Problem was the mencoder-686 package with my VIA-800 processor. I located the "older" mencoder package (0.91-3.3.1) and all is well.
I am using Knoppix 3.3 11-19 (hard drive install) and trying to record tv shows using my Pinnacle PCTV card. I had a script that used to work for me on Knoppix 3.2 (07-07-03):
mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0:norm=NTSC:width=352:height=288
-oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=800 -vop pp=lb
-endpos 30 -o test.avi
but I now get "illegal instruction" when I try to use that. I
understand that there is now a requirement to add tv:// to the end
such as:
mencoder -tv driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0:norm=NTSC:width=352:height=288
-oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=800 -vop pp=lb
-endpos 30 -o test.avi tv://
but I still get the same error.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else doing this same thing with a Hauppauge (or other brooktree) card?
