Your list of available "recorders" is getting short very fast. > Given the above requirments, which of the several available recorders > supported by the NVrec project should I be using? None. Well truth be told, I don't know about the quicktime recorder, I have not tried it. But with either of the Divx or Divx4 recorders, you will not be able to seek while the file is being written. I suspect this is an issue with the avi file format. Maybe one of the codecs/encodings used with the FFMPEGrec recorder could do it --I have not played with it much. The only application I have been able to simultaneously write the stream to file and playback will full seeking is mpeg1 using mp1e (not part of the NVrec package). In theory, I suppose RTErec should be albe to do the same but the RTE library seems to have issues with RTErec. > Could you sugest a > starting ste of paramters to pass to this, to begin tweaking from? Well, not really since your requirements eliminates the use of the NVrec tools. Try mp1e. I will warn you that it has a/v sync problems, especially when used with WMP. > And thaks for all the good work on this projetc, _and_ the help you have > given me. Ditto! b. -- Brian J. Murrell
