bttvgrab-0.15.10-3mdk.i586.rpm

Installation notes:
-------------------

 - run './configure' (use --prefix if you don't want to install in /usr/local)
 - do 'make', this will build all programs
 - as superuser, do 'make install'
 - get and install mpeg2encode
   (ftp://ftp.mpeg.org/pub/mpeg/mssg/mpeg2vidcodec_v12.tar.gz)

bttvgrab works here with these libs:
    libncurses.so.4.2
    libjpeg.so.62
    libc.so.6

 IMPORTANT NOTE
================
For best performance, you need to patch your bttv-driver by running
./patch-driver.sh
or give it an arg, like "./patch-driver.sh 8" to get that many grab
buffers. (Default if no arg is given is 4)
8 buffers use approximately 10MB of main memory, but only while grabbing.
After that you have to recompile bttv.o and insmod it instead of the
original one.
It's just a minor patch and will not break any other application, but may
increase swapping if you are low on memory. It is not absolutely required,
but it improves performance significantly.
With the patch, bttvgrab can recover from temporary delays and detect
and record frame losses.
