Journal molnarcs's Journal: TV-Capture on FreeBSD && WTA tour news
I learned that one of Dementieva's hobbies is chess (and that's why her favorite tennis player is Martina Hingis, "because she plays smart, like playing chess on a tennis court." ). Yeah, tennis is 50% mind game. In fact, I believe it is one of the smartest sport. Or rather, one of the most balanced sports. One has to be smart to play tennis, and must have excellent mental discipline
Nothing interesting happened in Linz last week btw. Well, nothing interesting compared to Zurich or Moscow.Which is good, for I am running out of space on my harddrive. I've captured the more interesting matches, using mencoder, and my very very cheap capture card (PlayTV MPEG II). Image quality is excellent. On my amd xp 2400+ I can capture into 528:396/1500Kb/s mpeg4(divx)avi, if I don't do anything else. It is better, however, to capture with constant quantizer (-vqscale=2) and do a 2 pass encoding later in avidemux (and while you are at it, cutting out the ads). This gives me excellent results. I'm planning to write a tv-capture on freeBSD howto btw.
Next week: ATP Championships (men). The two bestest weeks in tennis (apart from the 4 grandslams).
