Introduction

The transcode program provides an integrated framework for encoding and transcoding, bringing together a large number of multimedia projects under one umbrella.

Recording from v4l

This example works on saa7134 cards, using the saa7134-alsa DMA module under OSS emulation:

transcode -x v4l2=resync_margin=1:resync_interval=250,v4l2 -M 2 \
-i /dev/video$DEV -p /dev/dsp$DEV -y ffmpeg -F h264 -c 00:$TIM \
-g 640x480 -f 29.970,4 -u 1024,2 -w 800 -b 128 -Q 5 -e 32000,16,2 \
--lame_preset medium -o $DIR/$FIL.avi
