I've been trying to locate software to do video capture in the mpeg
format. I've noted that Broadcast 2000 is gone, and apparently so is
Cinelerra. The broadcast 2000 link to Cinelerra only says it's gone and
provides a link to microsoft.com (what's up with that??)
Anyway, any suggestions on mpeg tools?

We have a project that needs NTSC video input added to a X
window system using Asiliant 69000s video chips. It's a custom board
for an embedded app. Its a pretty cool little SBC with 2 69000's
driveing 2 independent displays via Multi-head.
I've used the saa7146 and v4l2 to do video in a window but that runs
the video across the PCI bus.
They way we would like to do it is via the multimedia engine overlay
ability of the 69000 and one of the phillips saa type chips so we can
keep the video off the bus. We have an existing product that does
this with DOS and it works well.
Our DOS product has the saa attached to the 69000 via the I2C bus.
I've been doing some research and it looks like most of the pieces to
duplicate this under X exist but I haven't really found any reference
on how to put them all together. Or even if they will all work
together.
Theres the I2C in the kernel and I also see an I2C module for X but
it's not totally clear to me what I2C bridge(s) each of these are
capable of using.
The readme for 69000 options in X shows an overlay support option but
it claims that XVideo uses the same features and enableing it will
disable XVideo. It dosen't really say anything about controling an
I2C device attached to it.
I was hoping somebody on this list could point me to some docs on
making this all work or at least let me know if I'm in for a whole
lotta driver work. I gotta try to put together an estimate of the
manpower needed.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
