Hi,

we're doing a pilot with hd capture, 1080i. Here's some data from today's capture, which was 40 min long:

591MB professor.mpg
510MB VGA.mpg
55MB Audio.mp2

Me + my colleagues have been surprised how small those files are! Here's the config used for the above mentioned capture:

###########################################

capture.device.VGA.type=EPIPHAN_VGA2USB
capture.device.VGA.buffer.bytes=536870912
capture.device.VGA.flavor=presentation/source
capture.device.VGA.outputfile=VGA.mpg
capture.device.VGA.src=/dev/video0

#Create the presenter capture
capture.device.PRESENTER.type=CUSTOM_VIDEO_SRC
capture.device.PRESENTER.buffer.bytes=536870912
capture.device.PRESENTER.customProducer=decklinksrc input=HDMI input-mode=12 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! queue
capture.device.PRESENTER.outputfile=professor.mpg
capture.device.PRESENTER.flavor=presenter/source
capture.device.PRESENTER.container=mpegtsmux
capture.device.PRESENTER.codec=ffenc_mpeg2video
capture.device.PRESENTER.framerate=25
capture.device.PRESENTER.bitrate=32768000
capture.device.PRESENTER.src=decklinksrc

#Create the audio capture
capture.device.AUDIO.type=ALSASRC
capture.device.AUDIO.src=hw:0
capture.device.AUDIO.outputfile=Audio.mp2
capture.device.AUDIO.flavor=presenter/source
capture.device.AUDIO.buffer.bytes=536870912

For us it seems 32 Mbit/s gives good enough quality from further processing. My colleagues, who are more knowledgeable in the spesifics, have told me we should also try x264, when we have some spare time for the testing. :-)

Quoting "Steven M Lichti" <[email protected]>:

Hi all,

I know some of you are doing HD capture this semester. Can you provide me with the approximate file sizes (or mpeg 2 or x264 file sizes) of your video recordings, and whether they are 720p or 1080p?

We're planning to begin our testing soon, and would like to know what to expect…

Thank you!

--Steven.
