6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

1052 edges are usually black or contain some noise. These again consume lots of
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1053 unnecessary bandwidth. More precisely it's not the black areas themselves
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1056 adjust the arguments of the <CODE>crop</CODE> option so that all the crap

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1066 important issue if you are hooked to a network and run some time
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1069 <LI>Don't change the <CODE>outfmt</CODE> unless you know what you are doing
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1070 or your card/driver really doesn't support the default (YV12 colorspace).
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1071 In the older versions of MPlayer/MEncoder it was necessary to specify the
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

1073 <CODE>outfmt</CODE> isn't required anymore, and the default suits the most
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

1074 purposes. For example, if you are capturing into DivX using libavcodec and
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079
diff changeset
1075 specify <CODE>outfmt=RGB24</CODE> in order to increase the quality of the
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

diff changeset
1076 captured images, the captured image will be actually later converted back
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1083 using your soundcard via an external cable connection between video card
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079
diff changeset
1085 case, you have to load the <b>btaudio</b> driver. Read the
