Chaps,

Not getting very far with mencoder at the moment. Transcode works but has
clicky audio and I think the video is dropping frames.

What do people use that works well? Any examples of recording in PAL would
be appreciated.

Thanks, but I don't think that can take input directly from a video 4 linux
device. I'm looking at capturing analog video from my TV tuner card. For
some odd reason it looks like I'm getting frames dropped on a 2.5 G
athalon - not the latest and greatest but surely enough.

You could also try VLC, which has a built-in encoder for every format
under the sun. Take a peek at www.slackware.com/~alien for building that
monster

Cheers Niki. I've built things with a number of dependencies before. I
could also try it on Ubuntu on another box.

I've nearly got a (slow) solution to my original problem. I suspect that
when encoding video from noisy VHS - PAL tapes the encoders can't keep up
and frame and audio drop. I've recorded raw video at full resolution to
disk with streamer,
processed it a little with yuvdeinterlace and suchlike and encoded with
mpeg2enc. Very slow process - not perfect as yet but almost works. Have a
nice large 66G raw video file on disk right now! However, might want a
more quick and dirty solution - I'm sure domestic DVD recorders don't go to
this level of complexity.

Think I need to find a multimedia group for the rest of my questions.
