Hi, if you are using any of the mpeg4 codecs, you will need a rather powerful cpu for encoding at high frame rates, specially at any decent resolution. As an example I don't have any special problems with the following configuration:
device input: MJPEG 800x600@25 fps video codec - mpeg 4 - avc (h264) audio codec - mpeg2 container - matroska 2.8.38 - 64bit kernel hardware: intel QuadCore 2,8 Ghz (45nm), 4 GB ram but if I increase the input to 30 fps I'll only get about 28 when encoding. If you changed the codec to MJPEG, and still have issues then there could be something wrong with your setup, is the audio OK except for the sync issues? As for the sync issues, do you get the audio before the video or vice versa ?
