[ivtv-devel] Can't get PVR-350 to record video

[Scott Simpson]

Fedora Core 3, Latest ATrpms, 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel, Chris Kennedy rc3k drivers I have a machine with two video cards: video 0 is a PVR-350 video 1 is an AverTV Studio card /dev/video1 records correctly when I do a "cat /dev/video1 > /tmp/test.mpg" but video0 doesn't. I just get garbage on the screen when I play it back with mplayer. Can anyone give me some guidance on how to debug this? I've had a heck of a problem getting the PVR-350 to work but I easily got the AverTV Studio card to work. Sigh...
