However: ffmpeg -i /dev/cxm0 -t 10 test_ffmpeg.mpg produces 10 seconds of mpeg1 video that doesn't look as good. I've tried adding -f and -vcodec options with -s 640x480, but I just can't seem to find something that will reproduce my raw feed without errors, loss of picture, the size being off, or reverting back to mpeg1. To save me a little further time in just random trial and error, can anybody hook me up with the combination I need? Much thanks in advance! Hopefully this will be the last question I have on this topic, thanks for your patience! ----------- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org joe@netmusician.org
