The features & fixes list was piling up so I thought it'd be a good
time to cut a new version. Available here:
http://multiverse.com/~rhh/fxtv/
Brief summary of changes (see ChangeLog for details):
: YUV video capture
: X10 MouseRemote support (www.x10.com)
: MPEG-encode streaming (IYUV & PPM)
: Multi-Bt848 card support
: Multi-/no-soundcard support, and TV audio on CD-IN
: Can now get at internal audio mux from GUI
: Support clean build on non-XFree86 and Linux systems
: New Action Rtns: TVToggleFreeze, TVVideoRecordStart/Stop
: Video conversion process externalized (user-defined script)
: Grab mouse when entering Zoom full-screen mode
: More verbose "-debug startup" output
: Misc. Fixes (XImage conv, TIFF saves, remote display, X ext
detection, etc.)
By default, it builds for XFree86. To build on Xi/etc., grab the source
package and do: "gmake HAVE_XFREE86=NO"
You might also check out the "Sentinel.mps" sample off the web page. I
captured it using IYUV last night, on stock IBM/WD EIDE drives no less :-)
A note on video encoding. mpeg_encode(1) works fine for IYUV @ 320x240,
but it doesn't like the IYUV video stream length for many other resolutions
so I left RGB/PPM the default capture path. For other resolutions, try
RGB/PPM, but by all means use IYUV/YUV for 320x240. It gives you 25% more
disk bandwidth to play with. (Also, if you dig into this and figure out
what mpeg_encode's so upset about please let me know.)
Enjoy!
Randall
