Best capture/encode techniques/tools?
[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the video capture business and am having
some difficulties. Maybe some of you could share some of the tools and
settings that you use to capture under Linux.
I use ffmpeg under Slackware to try to capture some video from a VHS. I
have a P4 1.6GHz processor and a 7200RPM, 60 Gig IDE drive with a
Pinnacle PCTV.
I can see pixelation in the resulting mpeg, so I crank up the video bit
rate (up to 1500) and I still see some pixelation, and at that bitrate,
I seem to get frame loss. I tried compressing the video stream with
MPEG4 (thinking that I'm limited more by my drive than the CPU), and
there is little visible improvement.
Are there better tools or methods for capturing video? Perhaps my
ffmpeg settings are misguided?
Currently I use:
nice -20 ffmpeg -b 900 -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -s 400x300 -ab 128
/back/temp.avi
Any help appreciated.
