Try mp1e. It outputs to mpeg. You can recompress by using the quick and
dirty video tools though. If you need to get it in another format, I believe
that Justin Shoeman has hacked together an mpeg to quicktime config file. I
am not sure about avi. Personally, I prefer mpeg since everyone and their
brothers can play it, it can be compressed in a standard way, and well, it
just plain rocks.
Thanks,
Steve
PS Also, install BTTV2 if you have video sync problems. You can find it at
Sourceforge (plug) on Justins page.
Have fun!

How does that streamer command work for you at all, if you're losing
frames? If you lose frames, the audio/video drop out of sync, which
makes
that file somewhat useless, no? I use this, and I constantly get pages
and
pages of 4-8 frames lost. I've even tried to increase the buffer size
in
the btt driver.
streamer -r 29.97 -t 9000 -o /mnt/media/foo.avi -j 60 -f mjpeg -F stereo
-R
8000
I just end up with pages and pages of this:
rate: video is 8 frames behind
rate: video is 8 frames behind
rate: video is 7 frames behind
rate: video is 7 frames behind
This is a celeron 600 with 128MB RAM on an Intel D815EEAL board, hooked
up
to a UDMA/100 40GB drive... Am I running low on cpu speed, memory size,
drive speed, or something else? I really want to get this to work. The
key for me is getting ~320x240 at 29.97fps... Thanks.
