huffYUV and YUY2 ????

[sbstrd]

I appologize for my ignorance, but what are these things and can I use them? I have a G400 DH w/ RR. Matrox HD Benchmark says that I can get 8.5 MB/s transfer on my HD. I also have a second HD that gets about 6.5.

I only seem to be able to capture at 352 x 240 at 30fps using MJPG (anything higher gives me junk).

Please open my mind to the world of possibilities using my current hardware.

Also any hints or tweak info would be nice. I have yet to do much encoding due to the low resolution. I need to be able to get full res.

I'ld say you should try to optimize your system first. As you describe that your are not capable of recording at higher resolutions than 352x... with MJPG, you should stay away from YUY2 for now. Read through the Idiots guides and check if your system is setup correctly. On almost any Pentium/AMD system it is be possible to record at maximum (704x576 PAL) resolution. If this works you can make a start in recording YUY2 with HuffYUV recompression.

If you keep experiencing problems, report them.
