The MPEG-2 compressor from Heroine Warrior uses the code from the MJPEG project
(mjpeg.sourceforge.net). You can transfer DV from your camcorder with dvgrab
by Arne Schirmacher. The newest development version of the lavtools from the
MJPEG project allow you to mix DV from a camcorder and MJPEG that you capture
with cards like DC10plus (works very well and is pretty cheap), Buz, etc.
Check out the mjpeg mailing list archives for the latest information.
