Not to dispute anything you've said. Just to clarify what I meant...
In my limited exp. (as a hobbyist) I have played with a lot of
different video capture utils and formats to see what gives the
"best" output for me.
I once experimented, for example, with using mplayer to capture from
bttv in mjpeg format. However, the file was not readable by lavtools.
(Thankfully, we have transcode to convert it).
Upon inspection of ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf, it seems that there are
differing implementations of MJPEG: Morgan, Mainactor, ffmpeg...all
of them, apparently, just slightly incompatible.
If anyone needs input on how to capture from TV, drop me a line. I'll
be happy to share what I know (although it may not be of much help to
you, depending on your setup).
