[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, folks. I've been using fxtv happily for a couple months now to archive my VHS tape collection. I've run into difficulty capturing large movies, however, mainly because the encoder I use (mpeg2encode) takes input from individual frame files. This means that I have to have more than twice the size of the AV file available in free disk space, because the AV file is not deleted until all the frames are extracted and saved. I was wondering if it would be possible to free filesystem blocks once their contents have been saved to frame files. I'm not familiar with filesystem APIs, so I'm not sure if/how this could be done. If it could, though, it would be a tremendous improvement in fxtv's functionality for me. Thanks all -nick [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6sraTV3GAM4uE438RAsmuAJwLvpu45HNoINm3YDglD31HqTNmnACeKvir LNMPvu7reOIQPslxAp0aBUM= =AqFj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
