Hi!<br>
<br>
The problem is the initialization time of mencoder. When I get a trigg, I
must start recording in 0.1 sec. Each recording must be saved in a file named
after the time of the trigg.<br>
The SIGSTOP/SIGCONT was interesting, but I'm not sure I can use it. I'll
try to close the steam/demuxer. Thanks!<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi!
I'm not sure if I should adress this question to this forum, but I hope
it's allright :)
I'm would like to make a serial trigger for mencoder so it will record
as long the DCD is low. The problem with mencoder is the time used for
initialization. Therefore I looked at the code and found the main loop.
I did the initializaion part and polled the serial port. When the port
was trigged I jumped into the main loop -- mencoder started recording
immediately.
The problem is that I want to start over again without quiting the
program. The problem is that I can't start at the main() again. Then
I'll get messages that it's unable to open /dev/video0: Device or
resource busy. I have the following mencoder.c structure taken from it's
rev 1.2.15:

Why can't you just restart the program? Also, have you considered just
using an external program that listens on the serial port and sends
SIGSTOP/SIGCONT to mencoder?? The output would all go in one file that
way, but maybe that's what you want...??
BTW, the "Device or resource busy" problem comes from the fact that
mencoder isn't properly closing the stream/demuxer like it should
(which is ok since it's only meant for doing one file)... So if you
want to take your approach, you need to figure out how to make it
close stuff down properly between files.
