Subject: Re: RealProducer Plus, Hardware Encoder & SureStream
There is no hardware solution right now that supports the RealVideo G2
codec. The Osprey 1000 card supports the RealVideo 1.0 codec but as the
manual says, it does not support SureStream encoding.
The RealVideo G2 software codec is extremely fast, even when you are
encoding multiple streams using SureStream. Depending on image size and
number of targets selected, your performance will vary. However, you should
easily be able to encode real-time SureStream with a fast processor. A dual
processor can also improve performance since the RealProducer is a
multi-threaded application and encodes live audio & video on separate
threads. In addition, we've found that Windows NT performs much better than
Windows 95/98 for live encoding because the underlying thread switching
mechanism in NT is superior to the Win95/98 OS.
