Re: record DVD from VHS?



a) press play on VCR
b) run "cat /dev/video1 > akira-with-original-voiceovers.mpg"

I'd start recording first. You'll likely need to up convert it in post
anyway, at which point you can trim off any lead. You may also want to
up convert the audio to 5.1.

I got one of them DVB cards. Pinnacle HDTV Pro Stick. Only there's two
models, 800e which uses an em28xx driver and supports analog now. And the
801e which supports DVB only with the dvb-usb-dib0700 driver. And I got
the 801e model. Probably another year or more before it supports analog.
Although I tried saving DVD high quality in windows with it, and it's
utterly horrid looking. Some codec artifacts every 3rd frame or so. And
really dark/fogged out. In some respects, YouTube looks better, IMO.
Which is really a shame since I'm wanting to archive a few VHS tapes as
well.

mencoder DVB://KYLE-TV -oac copy -ovc copy -o output.mpg

For digital capture which is pretty decent under linux. In some respects
better than playing it live. mplayer looses A/V sync, kaffeine gets weird
in under an hour, when playing it in realtime. Just a real space hog at
full HD if saving to HDD. I'm not sure how it'll look for analog yet.
Probably just subbing in /dev/video0 for the DVB:// part. Or just cat-ing
/dev/video0 > fileout.mpg. I'm probably gonna have to get a different
card, or wait longer till my driver supports it to find out.
