Hi James, As you have seen, the traffic is slow now.
I'm not able to reproduce it. I run into issues with the both (transcode & ffmpeg). See below : olivier@fondcombe:~/Vidéos$ transcode -x v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -p /dev/dsp0 -Q 5 -w 1000 -y ffmpeg,tcaud -F mpeg4 -J smartyuv,pv=fullscreen -o file.avi [transcode] critical: Invalid filename "/dev/dsp0": No such file or directory olivier@fondcombe:~/Vidéos$ ffmpeg -f pulse -i default -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -vtag divx -s svga -q:v 5 file.avi -s svga -f rawvideo - | ffplay -i - -s svga ffmpeg version 0.8.6-6:0.8.6-1ubuntu2, Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the Libav developers built on Mar 30 2013 22:20:06 with gcc 4.7.2 avplay version 0.8.6-6:0.8.6-1ubuntu2, Copyright (c) 2003-2013 the Libav developers built on Mar 30 2013 22:20:06 with gcc 4.7.2 Option 's' has been removed, use private format options instead Failed to set value 'svga' for option 's' *** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED *** This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release.
