Alternative to cat for piping dvb output to file
Hi,
I am looking for an alternative to cat for streaming the output (ATSC) of a dvb card to a file. cat works fine for a bit but there is some internal variable that reaches a size limit and stops it. As evident by the c error "variable has reached size limit" (sorry for the paraphrase I do not have the error in front of me.) That is ok, a co worker who knows c told me the best thing to do is to find some other utility to do this.
cat /dev/dvb/adapter0 > test.mpg is what I am looking to replace.
Also if anybody has some tips on how to pipe this into some sort of compression utility that would be cool to.
Thanks!!
