I have a nagging question that nobody seems to be able to give a straight answer to
(everyone wants me to have a PHD in mathematics and come up with my own answer).
Let's assume for a moment that I have a very fast CPU, or a pair of very fast CPUs.
Let's also assume that I have infinite hard disk bandwidth to capture to. What is the
largest frame (in pixels) that I can grab with a bt878 at +29.97fps? Do I have to go
with 1/4 size, or suffer at 8-bit color?
I want to do distribution-quality video capture with my bt878 or Zoran 36120 (which I
can't get to work at the moment), and then put that on a VCD format media. Am I
asking too much to get NTSC-spec MPEG1 from this/these hardware card/s?
