[MPlayer-users] Mencoder and HuffYUV

[Levente Novákák Levente]

I would like to encode into HuffYUV (colorspace 422P) for quality  
reasons.
However, while grabbing, frame rate drops below 23 periodically, when
mencoder transfers the frames onto disk. It only lasts a 2-3 seconds,  
but
makes the captured video jerky. Is there a way to flush the cache more
often? If the chunks transferred onto the disk would be smaller, there
wouldn't be such slowdown during disk transfers.

PS: Avidemux2's ffv1rec has no such problem, but can't capture YUY2 or  
UYVY streams.
