[MEncoder-users] Viewing while capturing

[Martijn van Beurden]

Hello all,

As I'm messing around with my TV capture card I was wondering wether I 
can see what I'm capturing with a latency as low as possible. The 
problem is that I want to capture the analog output of an XBox 360, but 
I don't have a analog splitter for the signal, so I have to view it on 
the PC that is capturing, I think.

I have already tried playing the captured file back as early as possible 
(it is behind more than one second or stops playing after a few seconds, 
getting it right is already a headache) and this command:

mencoder tv:// -tv 
device=/dev/video1:input=2:height=576:width=720:normid=13 -vf pp=fd 
-aspect 16/9 -ovc x264 -oac pcm -o - >(tee test.avi -)>(mplayer -cache 
512 -)

But that did not work as the mplayer window doesn't pop up and the 
terminal output is clogged with binary.

Does anyone has a suggestion?

Thanks in advance, Martijn van Beurden
