Video4Linux Grab

Video4Linux Grab is a software that allows you to record AVI DivX files in real-time from any Video4Linux device. The program is still in the development phase, but a version that can capture in real-time is currently available. The developers plan to fully support scheduled capturing from different channels at different times to different files in the future.

While it may not be very user-friendly at the moment, the AVI Filelibrary can be used to record to an AVI file. It implements a standard interface for different stream formats to write to an AVI file. For encoding, the XviD encoder is recommended for faster speeds and better quality compared to the original DIVX5 codec.

A linear deinterlacer is also included in the program, utilizing the MMX extensions of modern processors to improve the quality of the movie without reducing the overall load too much. Sample movies are provided to showcase the benefits of using the deinterlacer.

Overall, Video4Linux Grab is a promising software for recording from Video4Linux devices, with the added benefits of AVI Filelibrary and XviD encoder support. The developers' plans for scheduled capturing and continued improvements make it an exciting program to look out for.
