Well, I have a solution for this. openmosix: http://openmosix.snarc.org/ http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/ I'm just a little timid to jump in now, as I'm drowning with current obligations, promises, and a general lack of deliverables.... > Encoding H.264 on linux is a different bowl of fish.

I did just get my elphel 333 so it has captured my imagination and spare cpu_cycles at the moment. I use DSPs both commercial and homespun_dev_hardware to encode h.264. FPGA are on the near horizon. Andrey has built one hell of a camera, and I'd encourage anyone serious about video to purchase one of these *bad_boys*. He's my latest hero when it comes to video! He has open sourced the hardware and software, so I'll be noodling around with verilog(VHDL) now, as if I did not have enough things to eat away my time. http://www.elphel.com http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT3888835064.html James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
