So perhaps it needs you to only use video4linux?
very interesting, axel! let me be sure that i understand what you are saying. i remove all the ivtv packages, as in the list above? and install the video4linux and it's kmdl packages? i guess i understand that ivtv was/is in the process of moving into the kernel. so, it'll be in the video4linux packages from now on? or did i misunderstand you completely? sorry -- i've fought this problem through soooo many crashes and lost soo many myth recordings that i want to be really sure what i'm doing this time around. :-/ thanks so much, axel, for all your sage advice and time you so freely share with all of us. john -- cleverly disguised as a responsible adult. _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
