Okay, now I know this is a long shot, and yes I know I'm really only asking fellow Mac users (although the basics might apply to PC users too), but I trying to put together a work flow to get TV onto a P900 as quickly as possible.
I can plug my PowerBook G4 into Canon DV Cam which in turn, is plugged into my SKY TV box. I can then record live TV on my Mac in using any Quicktime CODEC.
Now I'm thinking, perhaps I could record directly to my 128 Memory Stick Duo using a low bitrate CODEC. That way I could record, lets say, a couple of Red Dwarf episodes over night, and then watch them on the train in the morning on the way to work � pretty cool, no?
The only key missing in all this is that I can only seem to record in Quicktime format which the P900 doesn't play.
Any ideas? Any one know of a program which will record in live footage from a Firewire source in 3GP or a raw MP4 i.e. not in an Quicktime container? Or perhaps there is a program that will pull an MP4 out of a Quicktime container?
Yes I realise I could just record them as normal, and then covert them to MP4 or 3GP using quicktime, but I'm trying to make it a fully automated process.
