Surely you'd prefer to encode video much faster than real time.

If it can do it instantly, that would be great. But why does it need to be faster than real-time? You can't capture video any faster. (Though, "real-time" probably needs some sort of framerate qualifier… no doubt 60 fps is harder to encode than 30 fps.)

Unless you're thinking of re-encoding … on a phone?

Sure, that way you could apply shake-reduction or framerate adjustments (like slow motion) after capture. Or, re-encode to send as MMS or something.

[daemin → sp332]

Yeah, there's always more processing on a video that can be done. Shake/Jitter reduction, histogram normalisation, hipster-like (instagram) filters, etc. (Just imagine a real time instagram filter for video on your phone.)

Edit: Plus it means less power used since the processor doesn't need to be on for as long to process the video (duty throttle / pulse width modulation etc).
