vidutil notes
To use:
- If you do not have the bt848 driver or libjpeg installed..
- put libjpeg.so in /boot/home/config/lib
- put bt848 in /boot/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers
- If you try to run more than one app with the driver or you don't even have a driver really bad things will happen.

CapturePlay plays back saved frames
CaptureSave saves frames as JPEG files
QuickCapture captures frames from your bt848 card
rmpics gets rid of captured frames
Tele lets you watch the tele
CapturePlay plays back frames
mpeg2encode Encodes MPEG
PrepMPEG Prepares for mpeg2encode
I've been able to capture about 10fps on my relatively slow machine (120Mhz)..
If you come up with a feature idea send me it
If you find a bug I'll fix it very very fast
To make an MPEG:
- Capture a set of frames
- Run PrepMPEG, this converts the files into PPM fomat for the encoder and generates the parameter file
- Run mpeg2encode (preferably from the Terminal) this will make the file as output.mpg (it's primitive I know)
