I dunno how many applications are out there now that
can record full transponder streams from digital satellite,
or parts thereof.
So anyways, I wrote an other one:
wget http://panteltje.com/panteltje/satellite/xdipo.tgz
Who would record all this at the same time?
Astra 2D (28.2E) - 10773.00 H - DVB/MPEG2 - 22000 5/6 - NID: 2 - TID: 2045 - Txp: 45 - Beam: Astra 2D -
BBC One England
BBC Two England
BBC News 24
BBC Four 20h-4h United Kingdom Cultural
BBC 8h-20h United Kingdom Children
Beebies 7h-20h United Kingdom
BBC Three 20h-5h United Kingdom
BBC One Northern Ireland
Plus these have teletext, and subtitle channels, other transport stream
stuff.
At 4500 kbps x 8 = 4.5MB / sec (about 16 GB / hour?).
36 Mbits / second...
LOL I did not watch all of it...
But xdipo can do it!
And the interesting thing is that it will move your motorized dish,
has unlimited record timers, and a GUI as well as a script mode.
You can pipe its output directly into mplayer or xine too.
Or run it from crontab.
Use it to record broadcasts with all audio (be it mp2 or AC3 whatever),
so later when playing back you can select a language or teletext or
subtitle, or even decrypt it if you have the soft for that.
xdipo does all that with a 50 Euro wintv nova PCI card.
And it logs bit errors with time stamp, so you KNOW a file is OK (or where to
look to fix it).
This for example is a script mode, it will move the dish to 19 East,
wait 10 seconds for that to happen, tune to a transponder, and record it,
while logging any errors.
xdipo \
-l /video/bit_errors.txt \
-g "19.0 E" \
-c 10 \
-a "8192" \
-o \
-f 12092 \
-p h \
-s 27500 \
> /video/transponder.ts
If you want the GUI, leave out the '-o', or just type 'xdipo'.
