I still have a old distro that runs kernel 2.4 because helix producer runs on it (producer use real media format) Can you help me use mencoder? I need to capture video from v4l interface and audio from linein of sound card producer can do the job, the output is about 100 MB per hour It does it on a P4/1.6G PC, don't say CPU is slow producer's performance satisfies me on a P3/550 PC Thanks!
