(DVD ripping) Anyone knows a capture card that...
 

...anyone knows a capture card that can encode into mpeg-1 directly from the the dvd player?

Currently I capture the DVD ...then I encode it into mpeg which takes a long time...but is it possible to skip the first step and encode directly into mpeg? is there a capture card which can do such a thing?

Why not just rip to DiVX?

Use DVDx or FlaskMPEG to rip the DVD to DiVX format. If you really want to a MPEG, you can use EO Video or TMPGEnc to convert the DiVX to an MPEG.

yeah Im looking for something that would capture/encore directly into mpeg...

:thumbsup the way to go my movie collection is over 100 films

capture cards with realtime encoders:

ok I'm going to look at these url's...

anyone else?

Do you know how that Canopus card compares in term of quality with with a program like tmpgenc? Also, can you specify the bitrates pretty much the same way you can in tmpgenc?

I would also like to know :)

The latest Broadway Pro card does an excellent job of capturing mpeg or avi in real time. Pricey..but good!

I just bought this card and actually there is a problem with it...I thought I could capture at higher resolution than 320x240 with it but it is not possible in mpeg-1 mode....

now I got a return it and I got a find something else so anyone knows what can do the following:

-Encode in MPEG-1 + in real time + at higher resolutions than 320x240

thanks

edit:

-Encode in MPEG-1 + in real time + at higher resolutions than 320x240 ..let's say 640x480

This is what I use.

You can thank me later.

actually it's not what I'm looking for so I'm really going to thank you "later" :1orglaugh

anyone else?

Canopus is light years better.
I wouldn't even compare the two. I guess that?s why one is free, and the other costs 1k+...
I use DV-Storm with the front break-out board. I can capture to Mpeg, using any GOP setting I wish, movie size, frame rate, bit rate, PAL, NTSC, or I can capture in a variety of other formats.

does the dv-storm capture in real time, in MPEG-1, in any movie size?
