[MEncoder-users] How to intelligently encode video from TV

[Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto]

Hi. I just want to know if there is anything stupid in
my .mplayer/mencoder.conf file:

[gravador]
tv=driver=v4l2:normid=4:width=640:height=480:chanlist=us-cable
tv=alsa=yes:adevice=hw.1,1:audiorate=32000
srate=32000
tv=channels=4-SBT,5-Vanguarda,7-Record,9-RedeTV,11-Gazeta,13-Band
vf=crop=624:464:0:8,pp=lb,denoise3d,decimate
oac=mp3lame=yes
ovc=lavc=yes
lavcopts=vqscale=5
lameopts=q=6

top reports this:
 PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+ COMMAND
 1652 jorge     25   0  108m  74m 6524 R 76.6 14.8   4:34.47 mencoder  

The CPU utilization sometimes gets to 99%, but in this recent test I
have not received that message "Too bad! Buffer full! dropping
frame" (I'm telling the message from memory).
