[V4L] what is a good real-time mpeg encoder?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



hi all.

I'm looking for a good real-time mpeg encoder for recording TV shows and
what not. So far it seems like the best one is in broadcast 2000, but I
am having trouble keeping the audio and video in sync. (it keeps
dropping video frames, so the audio falls behind). I tried grabbing the
code  from mjpeg.sourceforge.net, but it's not up on the ftp server.
Also they say it only grabs at around 6 frames/sec on a 366..I have a
dual 400, but I'm looking for something a bit quicker..
FAME sounded good, but doesn't do sound as of yet, and video quality was
a little low.

anyone know of anything different/better?

My goal is to make a TiVo-like device, to record shows, and have the
ability to pause/rewind a live show...
In case anyone is interested I think I'll be using xmltv and gtv for
grabbing/displaying the listings.

thanks,
Mike

PS it doesn't have to be mpeg..mjpeg avi's are just as good, anything
with fairly good compression, and can keep video/audio synced. (v4l2 is
supposed to do a better job with that, right?)
