Does anyone know if on-the-fly video transcoding is possible on the
beagleboard? I have been trying to get a 352*240 mkv file to transcode
to mpeg1 file to stream over the network, but I fall short by about 10
fps even on increadibly low settings.
I am guessing this is due to hardware restrictions rather than
software. Has anyone got on the fly transcoding to work?
I am using ubuntu 9.10 and ffmpeg to do my transcoding
Cheers, M

FFmpeg doesn't (yet) have a lot of ARM/NEON optimisations for
encoding. This is improving over time, but we can't promise any
specific dates unless you're willing to pay my outrageous consulting
rates.
Sure thing, cheers for the info though. Its a student project and I'm
rather poor, I can just about buy you a pint... but I have a feeling
that just might not cover your costs
