Re: [misterhouse-users] IEEE talk

[Robert R. <ro...@fr...>]

Hello,

I'm interested in video - I want to show it also to some other people. But it's quality is
not so good. I guess Bruce has this on video tape. I haven't tried but, maybe VirtualDub
could do the dump into DivX format, maybe even better solution is Dscaler (another nice GNU
TV viewing/recording program).

Maybe the second option would be better cause DScaler has all sorts of built in filters for
enhancing audio or video.

Regards,

Robert Rozman.
