Hey James,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div class="im">
Wonder if its possible and worth having one core doing the x264
encoding in real time then? Hence the video file is ready for upload
by the time we pack away.</div></div></blockquote><div class="im"><br>Potentially, something to test in the workshop. One CPU would be too slow though, at ~12.5fps it'd take a lot longer to finish encoding than the talk itself. 2 CPUs could work but might tax the box a bit with all the other stuff going on - consider the disk IO, the original file was 14 GB (and writing/reading from that at the same time).<br>

For the next workshop:<br>
- figure out what happened to AV4, with the dead video<br>
- document using the audio mixer, although we need to buy the
following bits first:<br>
large mono M jacks (left/right) to small stereo M jack (main out
of mixer -> computer)<br>

(Or the above main out -> computer + a 3.5mm F-F gender bender?)</div></blockquote><div class="im"><br>that would work too.<br><br>buy please don't buy from amazon :) easily bought here from any electronics shop and won't incur ridiculous shipping ...<br>
<br><br> <blockquote type="cite">- look at fitting a better vid card into AV2, atm the
ancient card in there only supports a single XV window so trying
to run DV Switch and watch the stream with VLC or mplayer results
in horrible screen performance...<br>

Any one got any spares? Or recommendations for something made in the
last 5 years and under $50 or so?<br>
<br></div></blockquote><div><br>I don't think we should muck about - we can get something quite good for $29+shipping from PC Case Gear (same guys that we got the CPU from) or from around $50 local.<br><br><a href="http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_876&products_id=13265">http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_876&products_id=13265</a><br>
