DSP Bridge for ENCODING

Hi,

I've been looking into the DSP bridge instructions and its usage;
however, it seems to be used for video decoding. However, is it
possible to use it for video encoding?

I'm building a remote webcam using a fairly basic Logitech PRO 9000
webcam and using ffmpeg I'm only able to record video at a few frames/
sec at any resolution above 640 x 480 and it is very blurry. Is it
possible to use the DSP bridge to help with video encoding?

Thanks!

"DSP Bridge" as the term means -> it is a bridge of data and messages
from ARM to DSP and back - like real life bridges do for human
beings,cattle and automobiles :D. if you decide to write a adder
application the DSP side, the dsp bridge will still work.. it will even
work if you have russian roullete game algorithm running on the DSP
side. so, yes, it will work for video encode. For video encode, you need
the relevant DSP algos/binaries to be used on the DSP side.. check the
configuration of the distribution you are using..

Ok sounds good. Where can I get more info about the bridge, algos, binaries, etc? I'm new to this. Thanks!
