Another question has to do with funky timing when I try and utilize -f $FRAMERATE setting.
I capture from /dev/video0 BTTV card. encode with ffmpeg xvid and save as avi. If FRAMERATE is for example 15 fps or 10 fps, it captures OK but it plays back at double or triple speed, or even greater for bursts of time. This is true whether playback is with VLC, mplayer, ms mediaplayer, vdub, etc.... here are the settings thus far: transcode -x v4l2,null -M 2 -i /dev/video0 -y ffmpeg,null -R 0 -F mpeg4 -c 10:00 -g 720x480 -f 10 -u 100 -Q 3 -w 1500-o "$VIDEOLOCATION$FILENAME" any insights or options I should try to resolve this would be most appreciated. I can send the whole encoder line thanks all! T
