Be sure to > get the patch on the NVrec site to keep audio and video in sync. NVrec with FFmpeg produces mpeg which only a hacker can love. IIRC when I attempted to demultiplex an mpeg-encoded capture (necessary, so that I can re-multiplex it to a VCD-compliant mpeg), the audio and video differed in length by more than a few seconds. Needless to say, when I multiplexed them back, the audio and video were terribly out of sync. I like to think of FFmpeg more as a decoder, used by such popular video players as xine and mplayer, than as a general-purpose encoder. NVrec with the mp1e (another real-time encoder) module looks more promising. Problem is, I couldn't get it to produce any output. I settled on NVrec with DivX ;-) because it looks better at smaller sizes. Simple editing (more like splitting and splicing) can be done using avidemux <http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/>. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
