Video capture, part IX

As mentioned before, SVCD is the output format I'm using for raw video right now. I threw away the master version of my first effort at editing something.

At this point, I'm not culling at all. I'm not even actually watching all of the stuff I'm capturing. When I capture with Kino, there's no sound, and it doesn't update the display unless you drop focus and put it on the window again. So I'd have to watch all the output separately. Instead, I've just been checking the results with mplayer.

The longest step is the transfer from DV AVI format to MPEG2 for SVCD. The transcoder has to recalculate each frame.
