Thats a pretty interesting data point. I guess if your machine is old
enough another bottle neck is IO bandwidth. Mine has plenty IO
bandwidth so RTjepg works fine, but my processor has issues
multi-tasking when running a mp4 encoding and decoding at the same time
(I have a P4 1.6GHz machine).

Yes, RTjpeg is much easier to encode than mpe
Hi,
Actually I'm in a similar situation. The best
connection for the cable is in my server room (right
near the amp). Seems my normal TV gets a lot of
ghosting on the computer. So I plug into my old
trusty server (dual PIII-550). I found that rtjpeg
iobound my server and really pounded it into

The RTJpeg uses signifcantly less CPU in my experience than mpeg4 at the
cost of much greater file size at a given quality level. Experiment
with it a bit. I've found that on my P4 1.6GHz playback of mpeg4 while
recording can get a bit choppy (ie "live tv"). One thing of note, I'm
still running .

What format is best for recording on a backend that has a bt878 card
(uses software encoding) and an older processor? Is RTJpeg less CPU
intensive than, say, MPEG4? Just trying to stretch some old hardware
without loosing too much quality.
Thanks,
