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

• 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)
