Hello! I wrote a small program to record avi files from TV card using the avifile libraries. It is a pure command line app, so it easy to use in cron or at scripts.
It is very similar to vcr, even the options are nearly identical (but not all, so be careful). It supports recording sound in mp3, capturing in YUY2 color space, deinterlacing and arbitrary image sizes (though the width should be dividable by eight). The source is from various other packages, the command line interface is my own code. I used capproc.cpp from qtvidcap and changed it to use interlacing and mp3 encoding, for the latter I used some code from vcr's version of capproc.cpp. I use it for quite some time now, and I hardly missed any episode of voyager or x-files ;-). But it currently suffers on a bug in avifile (well, I _think_ the bug is there...): somehow the index is corrupt, so aviplay always has to reconstruct it. This is dicussed on another thread in this ist. There is also a small utility included to cut commercials from the avi file: avicut. It can cut between key frames, reencoding parts of the stream if necessary and copying if not. Location is: http://masqmail.cx/avirec/download/ I would really like to get some feedback.
