Dear all,
I really tried hart, but could not find a good solution in Linux to record TV/videos from my BT878 TV Card. The main issue is, which codec and record tool to use.
So far my studies had following results: Record Tools: - broadcast 2000 - ffmpeg - dvr (does not compile propperly under suse 7.3: format.h missing - Anybody any hints ?) - mjpeg tools - use lavrec to record. But there is no clear documentation, whether bttv based TV cards are already supported.
Codecs: - Divx 4/5 - MPEG 2 - MJPEG
Some of my questions are: - Does anybody have found good solution to record directly to MPEG2 or Divx ? If so, which software does the job ? - Has anybody experience with the mjpeg tools, and whether they can be used with bt878 TV Cards? - is there a tool, which can be used to record directly into divx, or is divx kept in a Quicktime wrapper? - Can broadcast 2000 record in divx somehow ?
Any hints or comments and ideas are appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your help,
best regards Christian Kuecherer

Hello, Check out this, it's neither divx nor mpeg2... It's Mpeg4 in a not so portable implementation (regarding playback in other mediaplayers) though it performs super when it comes to rcording tv-shows etc. for later viewing. http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net/ Cheers! /Adam -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Adam Johansson Developer @ MadSci AB Phone: +46 (0)18 606462 Cell: +46 (0)70 6483901 ICQ: 58187935 Linux User #162881 http://www.madsci.se -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
