Ok the encoding works, but I am encountering difficulties under Windows.<br>
It's vital for me that these files work with Direct Show as they are
going to be transcoded using<br>
Windows Media Encoder and Helix Producer.<br>
<br>
I have the XviD codec installed under windows, but the files will not
render, Windows reports<br>
that the codec is not installed.<br>
<br>
I have another XviD file that I downloaded, which seems to have been
created with VirtualDub under<br>
windows, and when I use THAT file as the input into mencoder instead of
mencoder as the capture<br>
program, the resulting XviD AVI from mencoder WILL render under windows
in windows media player.<br>
<br>
Also the GSpot codec identifying program reports _identical_ file
attributes for the virtualdub->mencoder<br>
file as it does for the mencoder_capture->mencoder file.<br>
<br>
Thoughts? <br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jonathan.<br>

This is very hackish, but it does work and I don't see a better solution.
You said your capture program is MEncoder, so:
mkfifo input output1
mencoder tv:// -endpos 30:00 -o input -ovc raw -oac pcm &
cat input | tee output1 | mencoder - -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=100000 -oac pcm -o goodquality.avi &

Do NOT use cat here. All it will do is increase cpu usage. Instead:
tee output1 < input | mencoder - -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=100000 -oac pcm -o goodquality.avi &

Do NOT use mencoder for capturing directly to stdout and then to tee.
MEncoder outputs too much garbage on stdout and on stderr.

Very true.. :)
