(352x240 is the optimal recording geometery for my bttv848 card) lavrec -t30 --software-encoding --input=N --quality=90 --stereo --geometry=352x240 -fA /extra1/test.avi I can then convert the loosely compressed jpeg avi format to a highly compressed while retaining quality with lav2divx tool using divx3. lav2divx -o test-90.divx3 -b 2400 -a 128 -E DIV3 test-90.avi > > > > _______________________________________________ > Video4linux-list mailing list > Video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
