Play video from webcam using MPlayer command line:
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0
This example assumes that your webcam device is at /dev/video0
The resolution (width=??? & height=???) should be chosen to match the output of your device.
Use Mencoder to Record with MPlayer
Without Audio:
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:device=/dev/video0 -ovc
lavc -o webcam.avi
With Audio:
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:device=/dev/video0:forceaudio:adevice=/dev/dsp1 -ovc
lavc -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64:mode=3 -o webcam.avi
More Info on Above:
Type 'man mencoder' for more info on the audio options.
/dev/dsp1 refers to the webcam USB Audio device.
/dev/dsp refers to the sound card.

Fedora Core 17 bootup error message saying can't load font file "True". Fix for this error message is here:
According to the bug report, it's an anaconda bug which can't be fixed on an installed system, so the fix is to manually change it yourself.
Just manually change True every place it is used as a font name in the
following 3 files:
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
/etc/sysconfig/i18n
/etc/default/grub
Typically it was latarcyrheb-sun16 on most systems.
You could use latarcyrheb-sun32 if you want a bigger font for boot messages
and in console screens.
sysfont probably has a default font it uses if not specified, so you probably could do without the sysfont parameter without any problems.
