If your processing pipeline looks like "grabbing -> transformation -> display" then you should look at some tv viewers (like xawtv) or one of the many paytv-decoders, which are designed for realtime performance. -- -----==- | ----==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / pcg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx |e| -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |
