Wow! I never tried anything that high for that neighborhood resolution. > Well - I use mpeg1, What tool are you using for your mpeg1? > but you must have good input video quality and have to > accept that you need an adequate bit rate. What bitrate and resolution do you normally mpeg1 with? I was using mp1e 320x240@1800kb/s and was fairly satisfied with that for casual watching. > If I'm keeping stuff I recompress into Divx4 I have been considering this sort of process. Record real-time with an mpeg1 tool (mp1e would be nice if the A/V stayed in sync) and convert it to Divx4 in batch mode with a niced down CPU. > - mencoder (part of > mplayer) is working well for me. I will try that. I have been playing with trying to record real-time with it but it's "record from tv" command line a bit futched. > Shrinks my files to 1/3rd original size, > but Divx compression is much much CPU heavier than mpeg1. Indeed! Too much for "time shifting" on an AMD Athlon-800. b. -- Brian J.
