(somebody posted this to the MJPEG Tools list and i found it quite interesting. thought you would all too ;-) http://www.linuxjournal.com//article.php?sid=5817 Amateur Video Production Using Free Software and Linux (Linux Journal). In this Linux Journal article, the author looks at converting VHS tapes to DVDs, using free software of course. "Even when compressing a video stream before writing it, hard disk speed is important in digitizing video. It follows that the filesystem used is a large factor in performance. I have experimented with the ext2, ReiserFS and XFS filesystems. My experience is that capturing video to an XFS filesystem generally outperforms capturing to ext2- or ReiserFS-formatted disks. XFS has the additional benefit over ext2 of being a journaling filesystem." -- Roger ----- Verify my pgp/gnupg signature on my HomePage: http://www.alltel.net/~rogerx/about/index.html
