Later, yes, but MPEG2 encoding in software is too slow for realtime. I played a while ago with: bttvgrab -w 640 -o pmm-good -g logfile -Q -d d The pmm format may be even more uncompressed than avi. Convert to MPEG (needs mpeg2encode, AFAIK) bttvconvert -w 640 -o mpeg-1 -l 142 -s output.pmm -d d -Q -c log The bttvgrab homepage possibly has more info: http://moes.pmnet.uni-oldenburg.de/bttvgrab/ HTH, Colin -- 14.
