I've been trying for some time to create a video with sound using my quickcam pro 5000. I've been trying to use mencoder, but only because I've had the most success with it so far.

Generating the video file has been pretty easy:
Code:
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0:outfmt=rgb24:fps=15 -nosound -ovc lavc -o grab.avi


But I believe the key piece here is the -nosound option. If mencoder tries to figure sound out, it exits:
Code:
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0:outfmt=rgb24:fps=15:adevice=/dev/dsp2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64:mode=3 -ovc lavc -o grab.avi

Exiting...


My capture devices look like this:
Code:

  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


and I'm able to pull sound out of the built in microphone and generate a wav file:
Code:
arecord -D plughw:1,0 -f cd -t wav set1.wav

so I know the microphone is working. I just can't seem to get it working with mencoder.

Anybody got this working and care to point me in the right direction?

I haven't found a solution yet. I spend a chunk of time every month or so on google trying to find an answer, but nothing yet.
