<div dir="ltr"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I decided to use this rainy Friday morning to finally convert some old videos to digital format. Here's a short checklist of what I managed and failed to do:<br></font><ul>
<li><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Managed to see video and hear video through my video capture and sound-cards. Video is composite, and audio is connected to Line-In.</font></li><li><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Managed to record the video without sound with mencoder.</font></li>
<li><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Managed to record audio from the video with audacity.</font></li><li><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Noted that audacity has seval inputs refered to the same hw.x.y device. E.g. It has <br>
</font></li><ul><li><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">hw0,0: Mic<br></font></li><li><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">hw0,0: Front-Mic</font></li><li><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">hw0,0: Line:0</font></li>
<li><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">etc</font></li></ul><li>Noted that mencoder only has a single option for specifying the Alsa device, e.g. adevice=hw,0.0</li></ul><p>And here I got stuck, because I couldn't figure out how to tell mencoder to record fromLine: 0 and not from the Mic.</p>
<p>I had just as little luck with ffmpeg.</p><p>Does anyone have any idea of what parameter I'm missing?</p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Dov</p><p><br></p><div style id="divCleekiAttrib"></div></div>
