I have been working on the exact same problem. So far, here is what has and
has not worked:
Not worked:
bttv + streamer - bad a/v sync
bttv + bttvgrab - filesize too big
bttv + fame - no audio support
bttv + bcast2k - it's quicktime
Has worked:
bttv + realproducer - great a/v sync. rock solid. .rm only
dc10 + lavrec - also good a/v. Does hardware mjpeg. No tuner :(
I have not yet tried AviFile, but I don't have my hopes up. Until
I get support for the WinPVR or whatever, I am going to use either
realproducer, or lavrec + dc10 and control a VCR to change channels.
Although it is a pain in the ass to get good automated video capture
working under Linux, it is worth the effort. I have a Linux box
that has been doing about 5 x 30min real video captures a day for the
last 5 months. (like 50 gigs of compressed video) There has not been a
single hiccup and I have not lost a single capture. I tried to do the same
on a windows box and could only get one or two captures off before
I needed to reboot.
