Hmmm, I suppose it's possible - never tried it myself. You'd need
to get 'libdv' (another fine sourceforge project) built - it has a
'encodedv' program in it. Take some research and experimentation to
figure out what it wants as input.
On the other hand 'ffmpeg' might be able to do the job - it can read
the mjpeg file and has excellent DV support (at least for decoding -
I haven't tried encoding to DV with it yet).
If you can borrow/buy a miniDV camcorder you could produce as much
DV data as you need. Some (most?) DV camcorders will function as
a analog->digital converter (at least in NTSC countries - not sure
about PAL). Put an inexpensive firewire card in the system (if it
doesn't already have one) and then you're set on the hardware front.
For software - start with libdv and work you way up thru kino/dvgrab/
smilutils.
Cheers,
Steven Schultz
