One system I use I had to up the buffer count on and set file flush to once a second, or I would either run out of buffers or hose the recording because the disk controller wasn't fast enough to save all buffers in time. Since then, I've replaced the controller. > The buffer size (-b/--mjpeg-buffer-size) can be changed if you have not > to much memory, and want to use more buffers.

The very first versions of lavrec, if it even was called lavrec back then, had no -q, only a -b. One could emulate the old behaviour by setting q to 100, and then limit the actual quality with b. By default, the buffers are big enough for a quality setting of 100, but if you want more buffers and don't want to use memory enough for 100 % quality for each of them, their size can be limited with -b. /Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
