Craig, Chris, We did exactly this last week in our Telepresence Lab. (Well, Jen did actually) 1) we captured video using Windows with a Hauppauge TV card making an uncompressed AVI file (very very large) 2) we hacked xamin (which can play uncompressed AVI files) to output each frame as a PPM file. This needs even more disk space 3) the mpeg compressor can take in a directory full of ppm files, one file for each frame. So, all the code for this is in FreeBSD. It would be nice to hack the mpeg encoder to read uncompressed avi files directly. Hacking was performed by Jen Clark, jen@telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk I'll ask her to write up exactly what she did and post it here.
