sned twice, because I dont know if you filtered out this message because gcc 2.ninexx
-----------------

Greetings,

first of all I have to say, that Mplayer & Mencoder is a great software.
I use mencoder to grab videos from my tv card with libavcodec on an AMD 450 Mhz and it works good.

My system is a Redhat 7.3 with gcc "2.nine6". I know that you don't want any bugreports when someone uses this
compiler version. But I used a few versions before 0.90 pre9, and it always was an improvement.
but now, I get a lot of strange error messages.

I start mencoder with:
mencoder -o /bb2.avi -endpos 01:00:00 -tv on:driver=v4l:width=384:height=
288:device=/dev/video0:norm=pal:chanlist=europe-west:outfmt=yv12:forcechan=1:audiorate=22050
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1:vbitrate=705 -oac pcm

using this settings, I got a framerate of 24 - 25 fps. Using mencoder 0.90 pre9, it allways runs for 
about 88 seconds, and then I'll get errors:

----------------------------- log snap ----------------------------------

As I told before, I used a lot of mplayer releases before and never got this error.
I've tested a few kernel version 2.4.18-3 and -5 and -10 and -17x from redhat 7.3,
and it is always the same. I 've tried a few cvs snapshots behind pre 9 ( latest was november 02. )
and the same errors occured.

Maybe that helps,

Yours, Axel

PS: I forgot: both, video and audio capture is bad !
