In principle, yes. But there is a big drawback to such a solution: the pipes (and demuxing/muxing in a different process) will introduce lots of context switches. Since I want to convert four full transponders at the same time (about 25 channels), this will certainly kill my 450MHz PII machine. Let alone the 25 additional mencoder processes all running in parallel. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
