</div></div>Unless you're transcoding more quickly than real-time then the backlog of data<br>
in the stream will need to go somewhere; typically to disk...<br>

The transcoder takes as long as the program did (60minutes). So I'm wondering if it is possible to run the transcoder as it records instead of after. The comercial flagging I could hold on till the end for.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Basically the reason I'm asking is currently my front end can not handle HD recordings. So I would like ti to be read by the card, transcoded, saved to disk, then played on front end before the show end.</div>
