mtvcgui

mtvcgui is a very simple graphical user interface for TV capture using the mplayer encoder (mencoder) written in python with qt4 libraries, using qtdesigner and PyQt4

It allows the user to specify various parameters for the mencoder command line utility using separate widgets, but non covered parameters can still be supplied as extra parameters

REQUIRES PyQT4

The program is run directly from the source code by extracting the tgz file.
You may also try some experimental packages for your linux distribution. deb, rpm and ebuild are available. Check in the downloads section of the project homepage.
