It's one I found on the net;


mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:device=/dev/v4l/video1:channel=27: \
width=768:height=576:fps=25 -vop lavcdeint,denoise3d=4:3:6 -oac mp3lame \
-lameopts abr=:preset=128 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1500 \
-info name=test:artist=channel-27:genre=trash:subject=snippet: \
copyright=aRTee:srcform=teevee:comment='just testing' -frames 500 \
-o videocap.avi

Looking at this I can see now why I need libmp3lame support.   DOH!

I would really appreciate it. I'm really green with this stuff, 
I'm even having trouble figuring out what the man pages are 
saying to me.  (^:

I'm going to upgrade now so I'll add everything I can.
