I want to capture video in mpeg-4 format directly....
I am able to use Windows moviemaker....Which encodes my file in propritery format which i dunt like....(Though Quality is superb)
Big fan of virtualdub but direct capturing thru virtualdub is worst for me...It gives some hazy unnecessary patches in the video captured...

The bundled software which came with my pinnacle card only allows to use MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 only if you buy a key for it.....Crap...

Does any of the 3rd party software allows to capture the video in MPEG 4 on the fly...
CPU is P-4 2.4 GHz So i dun consider to be slow for encoding movies on the fly...Nero VisionExpress also had some issues in the recorded video...

PS:i know there are lots of threads of Video encoding but was unable to find anything for capturing videos...
