 I think it's lack of people who maintain them.
 You can find pretty reliable RPMs of Win32 codecs and mplayer at:
 http://rpm.greysector.net/mplayer/
 (MPlayer's download page points there)

Problem - the mplayer-codecs package from that site is codecs only for
mplayer. The win32-codecs package puts codecs in /usr/lib/win32 where
xine can get at them as well.

Record from TV (saa7134)

2006-05-22 Thread Alon Altman

Hi,
  I would like to have a cron job to record a TV program using my saa7134
card. I have mencoder and ffmpeg installed (and may install other software
as needed). I do not require high quality, but the recording must be
feasible in real time and the A-V must be syncronized. A later compression
thread my be run if needed. I'm running on an Intel P4 2.8Ghz with
hyperthreading.

What I am using up to now is:
  ffmpeg -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec mp3 -s 4cif -qscale 10

This gives very low quality, and starts to lose A-V sync after several
minutes (due to lag, I guess). Any recommendations?

  Alon

Linus Torvalds on CNN

2006-05-22 Thread Micha Silver

Anyone see the broadcasted interview?

http://www.cnn.com/2006/BUSINESS/05/18/global.office.linustorvalds/index.html


From the posted transcript of the interview, nothing new was said, but 
the fact that CNN is again addressing the question of open source, and 
its business model is surely important.

use mpeg2 and transcode offline
