Thanks for that. It's now working real well. 

Matt.

You don't have enough CPU to run theoraenc at 720x480x30fps in real
time, which is what ffdec_dvvideo is providing.  You can try invoking
theoraenc with speed-level=2, which is far less bitrate-efficient but
about twice as fast.

Really, though, you should be downscaling the input.  Specifically, you
should throw away one field, and then probably rescale to 320x240 before
encoding.  That (with a queue) will give you enough CPU, and also get
rid of the terrible interlacing artifacts.
