What about good MPEG Hardware encoders (Optivision) ?
OptImage does sell one (2 actually: Mac&PC)) MPEG-hardware-boards along
with other tools (multiplexer, disc builder, disc burner...)
please change the contact point to:
info@optimage.com or sales@optimage.com
We have a Real-Time full SIF MPEG encoding board from Optivision.
The board can only do I and P frames now, but B frames will be supplied
once new Microcode is available from C-Cube.
How much is the Encoder board ? Probably very expensive.. ?
[ about 20.000 $ !!! ]
The streams from this board have a few artifacts, but over-all look
quite good.
