For playing, transcoding, and yes recording, I recommend mplayer. For the "unattended" part, use with good old reliable, "at" or maybe even cron. Here's simple command to record a TV show using mjpeg codec: aumix -i 50 -l 50 ; mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:norm=ntsc:chanlist=us-cable:channel=36:width=352:height=240:forceaudio:forcechan=2:adevice=/dev/dsp -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg -oac pcm -o tvcapture@`date +%Y`-`date +%m%d`-`date +%H%M`.avi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
