Re: [V4L] capture screen activity to a VCR

Hi, maybe my answer is a bit dumb, but then, so be it ! ;)

Why don't you just use a VGA board (instead of a frame grabber) having a TV output, too ? For example we use Guillemot MaxiGamer Xentor32 VGA boards that have an S-VHS ouput. I have never tested them but I guess that if you configure them correctly you can output your 640x480 display via that path, to a VCR. If anybody could confirm, or tell me what's wrong with my reasoning, I'd be happy !

  I thought this would be soooo easy...

  Does anyone know of a board that will support video (NTSC/PAL) output
  while being fed with uncompressed data. What I want to do is make VCR
  tapes of 640x480 portions of an application user interface.

  I had planned to use the DC10+, which sounded like it did all the
  things I wanted and wasn't very expensive, but I found out today
  (thanks to Serguei Miridonov) that the Zoran ZR36067 pci interface
  chip doesn't support uncompressed data coming from the cpu and going
  out through the video hardware. Rats.

  As a last resort I may try to jpeg encode the screen captures so I can
  feed them to the DC10+ for display, but seems like a pretty ugly
  solution and may not run fast enough, even on my very fast Compaq
  xp1000 alpha.

  Anyone have thoughts on this?

  The DC10+ seems work pretty well under 2.2.18pre15
