I'm trying to use mencoder to record a video. The following command was taken from an [online tutorial](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_setup#MPlayer) : mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0:forceaudio:adevice=/dev/dsp -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64:mode=3 -o filename.avi The output is as follows: MEncoder SVN-r37379 (C) 2000-2015 MPlayer Team 210 audio & 441 video codecs success: format: 9 data: 0x0 - 0x0 TV file format detected. Selected driver: v4l2 name: Video 4 Linux 2 input author: Martin Olschewski comment: first try, more to come ;-) v4l2: your device driver does not support VIDIOC_G_STD ioctl, VIDIOC_G_PARM was used instead.

Exiting... user@ArchBox:~/Dropbox$ mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0:forceaudio:ade[15838:17998:0117/045341:ERROR:cert_verify_proc_nss.cc(922)] CERT_PKIXVerifyCert for api.tldr.io failed err=-8181 How do I address these errors?
