I do raw HDTV recordings, but have a script running in the background to encode them once the recording has finished. The trick is to run this script and it's processes at minimal priority so you can go ahead and do other stuff without it bothering you.
Recording HDTV doesnt use much CPU if you arent compressing on the fly, but you need to make sure you have enabled DMA or your HDD wont be able to keep up. I tend to be watching movies, recording HDTV and compressing previously recorded TV all at once without a glitch being noticed. But I am using a 2800 CPU. -justin On Mon, 2005-10-10 at 17:49 +0200, Pete Hillebrand wrote: > Thanks for your answers! > > Well, my CPU is a 700Mhz, so encoding and decoding at once is really a > problem (plus azureus is running as well on that machine ;) > And my soundcard is branded no-name, so i guess it's not full-duplex at all. > But i can really life with that for now. > > Ill try it later @ home the idea Jason suggested.
