Hi people, I'm doing that kind of things using avicap (avifile package, comes with latest SuSEs). It does the job wonderfully, can choose which codec with what attributes to take, and the captured file can be later edited with avirecompress (like making also the sound mp3 instead of PCM, or cut some parts). It reads also the xawtv channel setup, so you can switch to the one you want. And it's portable in sense that it plays both under linux with aviplay and mplayer, and windows "The playa" and media player... Check it out, is a great piece of software. Just one "but" - you need to have a fast CPU to compress to DivX realtime with acceptable quality (I think that's independent on what you use for recording anyway, right? :) Cheers Eduard --- Christian Kuecherer <Christian.Kuecherer@ccrle.nec.de> wrote:
Dear Adam,
thanks for the hint, I will check it out asap. Is it possible to edit the recorded content, lets say in Broadcast 2000 ? (remove advertisments, etc...)
Thanks Christian

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.
