I forgot to ask for the VCR_ settings.
The defaults are:
VCR_AUDIO = (
':adevice=%s' % AUDIO_DEVICE +
':audiorate=32000' + # 44100 for better sound
':forceaudio:forcechan=1:' + # Forced mono for bug in my driver
'buffersize=64') # 64MB capture buffer, change?
I used these settings.
TV_VIEW_OUTFMT = 'yuy2'
TV_REC_OUTFMT = 'yuy2'
VCR_AUDIO = (
#':alsa:adevice=hw.0,0' +
':alsa' +
':amode=1' +
':audiorate=32000' +
':buffersize=64'
)
VCR_CMD = (CONF.mencoder + ' ' +
'tv:// ' +
'-tv driver=%s:input=%d' % (TV_DRIVER, TV_INPUT) +
':norm=%s' % CONF.tv +
':freq=%(frequencyMHz)s' +
':width=%d:height=%d' % (TV_REC_SIZE[0], TV_REC_SIZE[1]) +
':outfmt=%s' % TV_REC_OUTFMT +
':device=%s' % TV_DEVICE +
VCR_AUDIO +
' -ovc lavc -lavcopts ' +
'vcodec=mpeg4' +
':vbitrate=1200:' +
'keyint=30 ' +
'-oac mp3lame -lameopts ' +
'br=128:cbr:mode=3 ' +
'-ffourcc divx ' +
'-endpos %(seconds)s ' +
'-o %(filename)s')
This is quite a bit python like but can be written like this:
VCR_CMD = ('/usr/bin/mencoder ' +
'tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=/dev/video0' +
...
'-endpos %(seconds)s ' +
'-o %(filename)s')
You simple join everything together and it results in the command line
that is called.

Strange, the childapp should print the command to the recordserver-X.log
Try adding to ~richard/.freevo/local_conf.py:
LOGGING_RECORDSERVER = logging.DEBUG
DEBUG_RECORDSERVER = 2
You will get much more information.

I don't know what the difference is but there are some specific DVB
plug-ins. AFAIK just about all DVB devices record directly to MPEG2 so
you only lose quality and increase CPU load when using mencoder.
For a list use:
freevo plugins -l | grep -i dvb
