|
<P>I must thank Alexander Oelzant for creating this portion of the VCR-HOWTO. His original version
|
|
is located at:
|
|
<A HREF="http://131.130.199.155/~aoe/mystuff/mpeg2_movie-avipatch/README.bttv2mpeg">README.bttv2mpeg</A>.
|
|
<P>After recording shows on my computer for a while, I realized it was much nicer to watch
|
|
the shows on my full-sized television set than to watch them on my computer monitor.
|
|
There are two options for doing this: 1) Purchase a video card with TV-OUT and run a cable
|
|
to my television. or 2) Create a VCD and play it in my DVD Player. Since CD-R and CD-RW media
|
|
is really cheap I decided to go this route.
|
|
<P>This section could theoretically be done in a different HOWTO because it uses a different
|
|
method for recording/converting than the other sections of the VCR-HOWTO use. This is primarily
|
|
because I haven't figured out how to create VCD compatible mpeg's using vcr. If your goal is to
|
|
create VCD's, use this section of the HOWTO. If you don't care about VCD's, completely ignore
|
|
this section of the howto because these procedures require MUCH MORE disk space than using vcr
|
|
to record for playing under linux.
