What software are you using for capture?

In VirtualDub, you set compression from the capture menu: Video -> Compression -> choose desired capture codec.

can i import the stream from my camera in avisynth? i would like to use avysinth as a frameserver. The stream comes from the digital camera through a ethernet cable. Is there a plugin that can do this?

i found today TCPServer() and TCPSource() in avisynth. Has anybody used this before?
