Hi, I run a woody debian system. I have downloaded mjpeg tools version 1.6, and vstream 0.4.5-2. My computer is an SMP dual 460 MHz system, 256 meg of ram, bt848 tv card. I am experimenting with recording at a higher resolution then scaling down to obtain a higher quality image. I have tried recording at a resolution of 352x288, and the results on a vcd appear to be worse than straight video recording. However my computer only appears capable of saving data at a higher resolution without misses by directly saving raw data to a raw file. I am having the following problems with the available tools. My problems with lavrec from mjpegtools are - I cant see how to output raw data to a raw file device. (also, is this a sensible thing to do?) - It mutes the sound on my TV card, while streamer doesnt. My problems with streamer are: - How do I find out how big the file size is if I output to a raw output device. - The format, using 4mpeg output format, is not accepted by lavtools/mjpegtools utilities. But the first few bytes of the file does indicate an attempt at this format. Thanks in advance.
