Hi Martin...

ffmpeg I found impossible to make it work (how did you do this?) - it was hard enough to even find it to compile...

I had success with the berkley mpeg encoder but it is VERY slow, and overlapping motion mpegs eventually get the better of the machine with multiple cameras...

I have never tried transcode

regards

Pete

Hi!

I was woundering about peoples experience with different codec's when grabbing from a v4l device to record a PAL input in best possible quality. I have tried nvrec, ffmpeg, and transcode. I have used options like:

# transcode -i /dev/video0 -x v4l --omport_v4l 1 -c 00:0015 -g 768x576 -y divx5 -z -o test.avi
# ffmpeg -vd /dev/video0 -r 25 -an -s 768x576 -hq -vc 1 -t 300 test.mpg


I can't use an MPEG-chip card when I want to analyse the raw frame before doing the decoding (i.e. motion detection). Someone said that I couldn't do this with the v4l interface, so I'm using a Pinnacle PCTV card with the bttv driver.
I'm using an AMD XP2600+ with 512MB 333MHz RAM, MSI motherboard with KT400 chipset, IDE disks (possible with software RAID1), running Slackware9.0, kernel 2.4.20.


Do anyone have a comment or some references?

Thanks!
