• libfame (http://fame.sourceforge.net/)
• GNU/Linux (not tested on other systems).
• Video4Linux compliant capture device. *** GATOS capture is not supported anymore (ATI users) *** But code for supporting Xv capture is welcome :)

INSTALLATION/SETUP

See file "INSTALL" for installation and setup info.

FILE FORMATS

        The output format of the encoded files are either
                - MPEG-1 compliant video bitstreams.
                - MPEG-4 simple profile compliant video bitstreams. (OpenDivX)
        Any MPEG-1 player should be able to read output files.
        The decore program from OpenDivX project (http://www.projectmayo.com/projects/subproject.php?projectID=1&subprojectID=1) should be able to read MPEG-4 output files. Other MPEG-4 video only players are known to work.

USAGE

        Simple example:
                fame video.mpg

        If you want to send the stream on the network instead, you can give the ip adress of the receiver and the port.

                fame udp://127.0.0.1:9999

        You can also encode audio in mp3 file format:
                fame video.mpg audio.mp3

        Various options are available for configuring the encoding with
                fame -h
