Capturing to AVI using streamer

Capturing to AVI using streamer

[Ian Davidson]

I used to capture video to AVI format using streamer on a single 
processor system running Fedora Core 4.  I would set up streamer to run 
for 40 minutes - but at a convenient time stop streamer using Ctrl-C 
(according to the documentation) and the AVI file would be 'wrapped up' 
nicely.  I could take the AVI file to a Windows machine and edit the 
captured video.

I am now using streamer as before but on a dual processor system running 
Fedora 9.  I get an AVI file but some editing software is unable to find 
the video stream.

Is this a problem caused by a) the change of hardware or b) the change 
of software?

streamer is part of the same bundle as xawtv.
