Right, I never tested multiple scratch files, sorry. Your file name
handling is certainly the correct way !
The fact that realtime encoding does not work for you, even in mpeg1 is
interesting. For Erich Zigler <erichz@superhero.org> mpeg1 works but never
mpeg4. For me mpeg1 works, and occasionaly mpeg4 works too.
Maybe it is performance related ? weird. I posted a question on the ffmpeg
list, maybe someone can analyze the faulty mpeg4 avi that are produced.
what kind of machine do you have ? (cpu/freq)
