People, When I record from a USB video grabber using: mencoder-1.0-0.111.20091029svn.fc12.x86_64 and: /usr/bin/mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0:adevice=hw.0:alsa:forceaudio -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o out.avi I see lots of these: mencoder - Skipping frame! When replaying, the audio is fine but the video continually displays "catching up" rapid video to resync with the audio. Is it the "Skipping frame" errors causing this? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia E-mail: phil at pricom.com.au
