[vlc] Re: Questions about VLC using two channels at the same time

[Afonso Lima]

Juliano,
 
Are You from Brazil?
 
Here I'm use two channels of the same card. This card has only one buffer. Do I have to share it? Have you ecer worked with two or more channels simoutaneous in the same card?
 
Thanks
 
Afonso Lima.

I use one simple command line for so streaming.. using in each card 
/dev/video0 video1 video2 and video3. That are separated devices.. Vlc 
not have problem for me doing that...
