Capturing Audio/Video (cont.)

• DV via Firewire. Edit via Kino.
• Use lavrec from mjpegtools, streamer from xawtv, etc. to capture yuv data.
• You must convert the yuv data to mpeg which can take hours. On average 1 hour of yuv data = 14GB (based on bit rates and resolution) and can take >12 hours to convert to mpeg2.
• Software encoding is currently not as good as hardware encoding, quality wise and speed wise.
• You might also introduce synchronization issues.
