I have a Hauppage USB Live 2 video capture device installed on two machines one with WinXP and other with Windows 7 OS. The capture device is connected to a Q-See QSICC2PK video camera (http://www.amazon.com/Q-See-QSICC2PK-Indoor-Camera-Vision/dp/B000WTKANQ) through a composite cable. So, the source for the USB Live 2 capture device is Composite.
The device works absolutely fine when I use the WinTV 7 software that comes with it.
The following screen shot shows the proof that WinTV 7 software is able to capture from the USB Live 2 device:

The following are my settings in the WinTV 7 software:

But, my goal is to record both video and audio using the mencoder or ffmpeg CLI (CLI is a major requirement here). So, I downloaded the latest mplayer/mencoder (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/MPlayer%20and%20MEncoder/revision%2033574/) and ffmpeg (http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/static/ffmpeg-git-81ef892-win32-static.7z) for Windows. I tried recording using ffmpeg according to the method shown here (http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/204961/How-to-capture-audio-and-video-from-webcam-using-f). It is recording the video, but not the audio. Also, how is there is a way to tell ffmpeg to stop the recording if I want to, instead of pressing Ctl+C on the command-line? And, I still haven't figured out how to record using mencoder. Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
