Using mpeg4 and jpeg encoder from kernel

Constantine

Is it possible to use mpeg4 and jpeg encoder from kernel, instead using user-space functions VIDENC*, VISA* ?

    Theoretically the kernel can do anything so this should be possible however there is no software support for this, and since the source to the codecs is not available it is not really possible to rewrite them to work within the kernel. In general I would suggest using the given user space APIs as they are the only practical option, I am curious why you would want run the codecs within the kernel?

    We (my client) would like to have all software as small and as fast as possible. We prefer controller-like design because we develop medical system with very strict acceptance constrains.
