Video capture, part III
Moving digital video to an SVCD is currently a slow process, even on a computer with components no older than a couple of years. The slow bits, such as transcoding from NTSC in 720x480 to SVCD format in 480x480 runs at no more than about half real speed on this AMD 2400+ system.
If I try a game of Quake at the same time -- the demo version runs on Linux -- the game's almost too choppy to play, and the transcoding slows to about 1/3 real speed.
