Hi Brian, I checked the numbers for 720x480 input which is DVD resolution.
Athlon 700Mhz DVD...........: 6.34 fps DVD Interlaced: 3.70 fps > $ lav2yuv test.avi | /usr/src/mjpeg_play/mpeg2enc/mpeg2enc -f 3 -4 4 -2 4 -q12 -b >4500 -V 300 -I 1 -o test.m2v You have the interlaced (-I 1) flag set. In this case, 2 fps does not sound unreasonable for an Athlon 800Mhz considering that disk I/O and lav2yuv are going to slow things down. -James ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
