<div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I want to record some things from my tuner.</div><div>When I try to record something vlc first saves everything to ram and then, only after everything is processed, saves it to disk.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, this means that for ~90min standard tv input, using inefficient compression (my CPU is a slow Socket A Sempron 3000+), vlc would consume ~8GB, which is something that I can not afford (I have 1.5GB of ram on 32-bit OS, so even adding more swap will not help).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Currently I'm saving with "</div><div>:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=12000,scale=1,acodec=a52,ab=128,channels=1,samplerate=44100}:file{mux=ts,dst=/media/recordings/rec001.mpg} </div><div>"</div>
<div><br></div><div>I would like to be able to force vlc not to consume more than say 1GB of ram before writing to disk.</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions are welcomed - my final goal is to be able to digitally backup 90-95 min of continuous tv input on disk. I have a lot of hard disk space and transcoding it afterwards on a more powerful machine would not be a problem.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div> Matthew</div>
