vivi.c has a test frame generator. the quickest way to get test frames into transcode is:
$ sudo modprobe vivi $ transcode -i /dev/video Problem is vivi has issues[1], which might pollute the test. assuming the issues are can't be worked around (I think they can) fixing vivi is an option, but until the patch gets into production/distros/transode users systems, it will require patching code external to transcode, which would be annoying to someone wanting to run some tests. another option is to copy the frame generator code from vivi to transcode. Not sure if this will reduce or consume time... :) [1] http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/V4L_Test_Suite -- Carl K
