For me it is a nonissue at this point in time, and perhaps will never be an
issue with me.  All I know for sure is that multichannel input of analog data
was a done deal ages ago.  As for digital formatting for storage, a proper
format, compression, etc. is also a done deal and there are many good choices
readily available if you want them to be.  As for DVD formatting, who cares? 
Just another ripoff as far as I can tell from this angle.

I'll check that out.  Thanks for the tip.

 RT> VLC should work nicely there, am going to try it some time ...

I looked at it years ago and thought at that time it was good.  I am not that
much of a movie fan so other then checking it out to see if it worked, which it
did, then I really don't know what progress has been made with it.  mplayer is
nice especially the mencoder part.  I like how it can be made to work with a
number of interesting formats/compression/etc.  Other then it also works well,
especially the mga_vid part, then I've seen enough of mplayer/mencoder to know
that it is a keeper as far as any needs for this type of software is concerned.
 Personally I am more interested in seeing any output I can create to any given
thingy connected.

Actually in this case it is infinetly better but it is all I have for testing
tv-out, which happens to be the more common method for inputting to a mobile
tft display.  A laptop display would be a closer approximation.  I bet on there
the original (+5G) will be no better then the copy (650M).  Care to make a
wager on this?

 RT> Yeah, only iot does not want to build here ...

Really?  Which version are you using?  I bet I could come up with a suitable
working build scheme for you.  I'll post it later once I write it up (later
today if things go well).

 RT> Finally found libdivxencore, it is in divx4linux package ...

You don't need it.  Here the heave_ho() function didn't even get a shot at it
but I bet it would have if I gave it the chance to do it's job.  ;-)

Life is good,
Maurice
