	Hi,

	I was amazed that this worked as well as it did!

	With a combination of a slightly modified nuppelvideo port, a
buffering script and mencoder it is possible to capture and compress
to AVI from a bktr tuner at full PAL resolution (768x576) *with make
buildworld running* on an AMD2000+ - and probably on much less powerful
hardware, certainly if you don't run make buildworld while recording :)

	The test run dropped a few frames, which it seems can be avoided
if the make buildworld is run under nice :)

	The bits to make it happen can be found on ftp.sohara.org in /pub:

nuppelvideo.1.1-1.2.patch
        Patch for nuppelvideo port to enable using stdout.

nuppelvideo.tar.gz
	Version of the Nuppelvideo port with this patch applied.

CDRW/bigbuf.pl
	Big buffer pipe - uses files in /tmp.

test.avi
        Sample 768x576 avi file recorded with make buildworld running!
        Using this command line:

        nuvrec -W 768 -H 576 -f 792 -t 1 - | bigbuf.pl | \
        nice mencoder -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=128 -ovc lavc \
	-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2400:vhq - -o test.avi
