1197 In the older versions of MPlayer/MEncoder it was necessary to specify the
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1200 purposes. For example, if you are capturing into DivX using libavcodec and
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079
diff changeset
1201 specify <CODE>outfmt=RGB24</CODE> in order to increase the quality of the
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

1202 captured images, the captured image will be actually later converted back
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
