Hi all,

I am trying to set things up to rip a collection of vhs tapes to divx format, and I have a couple questions about the audio side of things.

I added a Pinnacle PCTV 40i card to my Fedora Core 5 system and the kernel recognized it automatically. For some reason, I couldn't get the cable connection from the video card to the sound card to work, so I tried using sox:

Code:
sox -r 32000 -w -t ossdsp /dev/dsp2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
and this works ok for watching tv using tvtime. However, when I try something like this:
Code:
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2 -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts pass=1 -o <fileout>.avi
it doesn't of course grab the sound.

Likewise, I have connected my vcr to the sound card via a scart adapter one the vcr and cable to the composite input on the tv card. When I play back a tape and switch to composite as input in tvtime, I see the vhs tape onscreen, without audio of course. How do I get the audio into the mixture, ideally to the point where I can grab it with mencorder together with the video? There is an audio output on the scart adapter (an RCA jack I believe).

Thanks.
