Distro<http://www.linuxmonk.org/2008/10/14/vedio-recording-using-webcam-in-any-linux-distro/>
For vedio recording in linux, mplayer alone may not be enough, one
additional package that comes with mplayer is needed. Its mencoder. To
install mencoder in a debian based distro use the command
*$sudo apt-get install mencoder*
For other distros like redhat you can use relevant tools like YUM to install
mencoder.
Then for vedio recording follow the commad below
*Video Recording Without Sound*
*$ mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0
-nosound -ovc lavc -o filename.avi*
*Video recording With Sound*
*$ mencoder tv:// -tv
driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0:forceaudio:adevice=/dev/dsp
-ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64:mode=3 -o filename.avi*
To change/increase the rate of frames captured use the fps option of the
above command.
