Capture Cards
This is the command I use to watch TV from my WinTV-PVR-150:
mplayer -vf pp=fd,scale -ao sdl /dev/video0

avitools
aviindex can convert from and to mplayer-generated index files. Since mplayer-1.0pre3 mplayer has the ability to save the index via -saveidx FILE and load it again through -loadidx FILE. aviindex is able to convert an mplayer index file to a transcode index file and vice visa. It is not able to directly write an mplayer file, though. Example of a toolchain mplayer -frames 0 -saveidx mpidx broken.avi aviindex -i mpidx -o tcindex avimerge -x tcindex -i broken.avi -o fixed.avi Or the other way round aviindex -i broken.avi -n -o broken.idx aviindex -i broken.idx -o mpidx mplayer -loadidx mpidx broken.avi The major differences between the two index file formats is that the mplayer one is a binary format which is an exact copy of an index in the AVI file. aviindex ´s format is text based. See FORMAT for details.
