Finally I switched to OGG (OGM container, DivX/XviD video, Ogg Vorbis audio). But one thing is annoying regarding analogue captures:
Using the programs I know of I get the audio muxed into an AVI file during the capture process. In order to convert it to Ogg Vorbis I need to extract the audio to a WAV file, which is typically about 1 GB in size, and the extraction process consumes ten minutes or so, before I can start encoding to Ogg Vorbis e.g. via BeSweet or OggDrop.
Of course I'd prefer a one step process. IMHO there are three possible solutions:
1. An enhancement to an encoding program to make it read auds streams from an AVI file
2. An Ogg Vorbis ACM codec
3. A "WAV audio frame server", which can read multiple inputs, among which is AVI, and feeds into any application which is capable of opening WAV files. This would be an analogon to video frame servers like AviSynth or VFAPI.
What do you think (especially about 3.)?
