What is the status of recording video under FreeBSD using video input capable
graphics cards sitting on the AGP bus?
The brands that seems most suitable considering XFree86 support etc.. is
ATI & Matrox. But other suggestions is welcomed.
Does the video capture device of video-in capable cards look like any other pci
device, thus allowing use of ordinary drivers like matrox(4) or bktr(4) ..?
(agp spec hints at this)
What I want to be able to do is to capture video (from Tv,Vcr etc..), feed it
to an video encoder (like mencoder) and save it to harddisc in realtime.
Possible rencoding for higher compression that can't be done in realtime.
And all this under freebsd.. ;)
