By default mpeg2enc does a interlace-adapted motion compensation beween the fields. But it can also encode the interlaced material field by field. Take a look at the -I --interlace-mode option description. That should be what you seek. And you should not filter it because it also does motion estimation. > Otherwise he will connect an MJPEG card directly; I've recommended him a > Miro DC30 ;) That card should work well with the lastests zoran-driver2 cvs version. With Compsite input, SVHS is currently ony B/W, the chroma is lost somwhere on the board. BTW: Why am I answering you in english ? Just to produce some errors when translating D->E->D ? ;) auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
