Hi,

I get streaming video data as RGB (3 bytes per Pixel) or YUV (2 bytes per
pixel) from my firewire camera. What are the basic steps to convert these
data into mpeg stream and saving it on harddisk.

Thanks

Using linux, ffmpeg or mencoder or transcode. Not really on-topic for SDL.

Hello !

I get streaming video data as RGB (3 bytes per Pixel) or YUV (2 bytes per
pixel) from my firewire camera. What are the basic steps to convert
these data into mpeg stream and saving it on harddisk.

A way would be to save every picture as for example BMP
and then use an external converter to convert them to MPEG.

Another way would be to use an encoder library to encode this data
at realtime into a MPEG stream.

Do a search at Google or Altavista or … for these things.
