Probably the simplest way to do it is to use a video capture device.
In Windows we use a program called "Pinnacle". Early versions used a device called a "Dazzle" but later versions used their own [ rebranded Dazzle ] capture device. You connect the composite and audio outputs [ or S-video and audio ] to the device input and the output to a USB port. The program takes the input and converts it to digital video which can then be edited [ capture TV programs and edit out the commercials - add special effects etc. ].
Supposedly the Dazzle can be used with Linux but I have never had much luck. Probably one of those learning curve things that has been brought up in this thread. With some time and effort one could probably use it with something like VLC.
The downside, you have to play it out real time.
I thought of piping ffplay into ffmpeg -i pipe:, then you can specify whatever codec and container you like but how do you get around the dvd menu? Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
