Gv4l

Anyone use this great capture app ???

It works wonder, except i cant get audio to capture in PCM or Raw. It always captures to MP3.

I thought it did the first 2-3 captures with PCM audio, but cant recall exactly now though as i was trying many other apps at the time.

On the site it says to just add ',raw' (eg divx5,raw) in the encode codec box and this is reflected in the config file for me too.

Gv4l config file.


[Default=Gv4l]

VideoDev=/dev/video0
AudioDev=/dev/dsp
PicSize=384x288
FPS=25
Codec=xvid,raw
VBitrate=2000
ABitrate=224
AGain=8
Source=Composite1
Channel=0
File=/home/david/temp/test.avi
Preview=1
DeInter=1
Duration=180
Yuv=0
Standard=PAL
Mixer=/dev/mixer
AudioSrc=line

ScreenSaver=0
Resume=1
SaveOnExit=1

[End Gv4l]


Yet it still records in MP3.


Anyone ??

thanx for reading.

I've never used this app since I don't capture video, but with a quick look at your config file I got the idea that maybe ABitrate=224 is forcing the audio to mp3. Try removing that or changing it to reflect wav bitrates (should be 1411 for 44.1khz stereo I think). Still this is just a thought...

Yeah that did cross my mind. With the GUI the highest setting allowed is 320

I manually typed in 1141 and set codec to mjpeg,raw
but no cigar. Wouldnt record with those settings :(

In the FAQ it even suggestions to use raw audio if sync problems arise (which is what i have got and hence want to go to PCM audio as we know its a better chance of sync)
