Hi Canek, I guess you already turned off monitoring video while recording with bcast2000 ? Video monitoring seems to take a lot of CPU time. But even if monitoring is turned off, xawtv is still much faster than bcast2000. About the performance issues: I'm not very much into bcast2000, but with xawtv it seems that picture quality suffers less if you squeze the frames along the x-axis instead of the y-axis during recording. So you might try to record something like 512x576 instead of full PAL/NTSC/whatever and later expand the frames to their full size- if bcast2000 supports this. (with xawtv I can record 704x576 QT movies (JFIF 60% quality) at 24 fps on a dual PIII 913 MHz, just to give a measure). And 8 bit sound isn't all that bad ;-) Amir C. Akhavan
