At first I thought that was a troll ;) > You don't have to capture with the mjpegtools -- I never have (all my > captures are DV through a Canopus box on FireWire). Capture with Same here. And even when using a WinTV card with 'fxtv' (http://people.freebsd.org/~rhh/fxtv/) on a BSD system I was using mjpegtools to perform the processing of the data. After seeing the difference between what a Bt878 and a Canopus ADVC100 (although today I'd get the ADVC300) produce I pulled the WinTV card out and put it in a static bag ;) > whatever you like, and use the mjpegtools for encoding. Exactly. The code for capturing in mjpegtools is a relatively small portion of the total - the bulk of the code resides in the (wide) variety of filters (couple denoisers, medianfilter, stabilizer, and so on), scaling, and especially the encoding and multiplexing (mplex is often regarded as the "standard" against which others are compared).
