[MEncoder-users] capture: synchronization problems

[amber]

> Plus, if you are going to re-encode to MPEG2/4 later, it's better to stick with a
codec in the same family.

i'm not very much familiar with those codecs and capturing - still a newbie. could
somebody please summarize it?

i understand mjpeg causes some artifacts. mpeg2 and 4 do not. and they are almost as
fast
or even faster so they sould be used instead mjpeg, provided the keint is set to 1.
there
will be no problems with further editing. is that right?

now, mpeg4 is in fact divx/xvid - is that right? and mpeg2 is DVD?

so if the target format of the recorded material is going to be dvd, i should use
mpeg2 and if i want to watch it on a PC, i should use mpeg4 (especially that more and
more dvd players can play divx). can somebody verify it?


thanks.
