[NTLUG:Discuss] Video Card with Svideo

[Dan Carlson]

Which capture card, software, format, and codec are you using?

I use the G400 with mjpeg-tools' lavrec to capture with the hardware motion
jpeg codec in QuickTime format.  Then I use mjpeg-tools' glav to edit out
commercials and use mjpeg-tools filter chain encode to MPEG-2 at half-D1
resolution with a DVD profile.  This is all under linux.  I keep the mpgs
on my server's hard drive for ready playback on computers with tv-out
around the house.  Under Windows I use Ulead's DVD Workshop to author DVDs
on DVD-R disks for playback in standalone DVD players.  It all works well
and yields good results, but it is labor intensive and time-consuming.  So
far I've focused mainly on archiving Star Trek TOS and TNG... ;)  I am
interested in creating a more tivo-like setup for throw-away programming
without the labor and time involved in editing and transcoding.

Thanks,

Dan Carlson
