This test helps (at least for the zoran based cards) to see if the hard
disks or controller causes any problems. If you have any other problem
like a sound card with a not to stable samplera

Hi
Just wondering,
My linux boxes are able to write files above the 2Gb limit.
However, mp2enc slices my movies in 2Gb files (-f 8).
I guess a -S 4400 would fit a DVD, but is it recognised by mp2enc using -f 8?
Thanks a lot, replies will avoid my boxes a one night computation for
nothing.

mp2enc? Wow - that is one heck of a huge audio (MP2) file!
How long is the entire movie? :)
I gather you me
