[MPlayer-users] TV and pre7

[Tülay Sözbir-Seidel <sozbir-seidel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Thank you very much for the new TV-patches in pre7. It now functions 
*beautifully*!

Just one minor which: I'd like to record TV while watching it. I tried the 
script:
---
export FILENAME=/movies/js/tv`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`.avi

mencoder -v -tv on:driver=v4l:width=480:height=360:forcechan=2:volume=45000 
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=900 -o ac mp3lame -lameopts 
cbr:br=64 -vop crop=466:348:8:2,pp -npp lb -o $FILENAME &

sleep 3
mplayer -vo xv -ao sdl $FILENAME
---

It starts recording and after 3 secs playing TV. Unfortunately mplayer seems 
to stop playing after the original file size is reached, though the file 
became longer in the mean time.

Is there a way to watch while recording?

Thanks again and regaeds,
Jörg
