That should be more than enough, as long as you've not got something in the background consuming 40.06MB/sec of read bandwidth, or something else writing loads of data to disk at the same time. > Thots? Your original command line was writing the sox output to /dev/null. That shouldn't be a time consumer, but as a quick check, switch to writing to a read file on disk instead. Does that change anything? Also, you might want to try running a buffer between the two processes, that might help as well. That would let lav2wav run ahead of sox instead of having to stop each time the pipeline buffer gets full. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
