1176 In the older versions of MPlayer/MEncoder it was necessary to specify the

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

1179 purposes. For example, if you are capturing into DivX using libavcodec and
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079

1180 specify <CODE>outfmt=RGB24</CODE> in order to increase the quality of the

1181 captured images, the captured image will be actually later converted back
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
