The VLC makers say that recording like this takes the raw stream from the recorded device 'as-is' and that there is nothing to do about it.

The recording button of VLC works well many a time, but the resulting avi-files are really unacceptably large (1 min recording = 1 Gb file size here). Too messed up/complex interface, and it all also depends on the force of the used machine and the used libraries. a tv or recorder with scart/AV/composite/s-video to usb (v4l).īut also VLC is far from ideal. VLC is probably the only relativily decent thing Linux has for recording from e.g. h/x264 mp4/mkv video with the usually well-corresponding aac-audio codec means havoc in VLC. Try the regular mpeg audio codec with any video format whenst recording-converting with VLC.
