Can Webcam encode to Divx with an Encoder card Dirrectly r..

Actually, you don't need an encoder card to do the compression with a
webcam.
AVI is just a wrapper, if you don't compress the content, the size is
huge. However, if
you use some encoders to compress the content, such as, Intel Indeo,
Divx etc, you still cam get small avi file.

For example, for a 5 seconds clip with uncompressed, the size of the
avi fille is about 30MB, but the avi file is just about 200KB with
Audio/Video compression!. Of course, you need some webcam software to
do the job.

I also want to do 640by480 30fps with my webcam. And i want to be able
to use my c for other things whn iam doing it. So a hardware Encoder
is a must.
