Hi, I have a problem where you hopefully can help me with.
I'm developing a tv-recording project for my company i work at, using a bunch of pvr-350 cards. The complete recording rack consists of 5 recording stations with each 4 pvr-350 in it. 2 quatro core xeons machines for real time transcoding to xvid and 2 SANs with each 4tb of storage for archiving the recorded material for 6 weeks. lets come to my problem now, we need those recordings in pieces of 1 hour per pvr card and recording 24/7. i tried to find some tool which can cut mpegs into pieces but wasn't able to find one which doesn't seek around in the inputfile - which is not possible in a video device. closing the device and reopening it is also no option because this way i loose around 2 seconds between two files. i put together some c code which reads the device and begins a new file every hour to write the output to. this works kinda nice, but as you maybe can imagine this messes up the resulting mpeg files. in other words in some files sound starts before the video does and video continues after the sound, some files the other way round. a/v sync is still correct. does any have a idea how to cut /dev/video into hour pieces and still producing valid mpeg2 files? regards daniel _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
