hi guys, after a week of trying by my self, i have to call for help.

avicap hangs when starting to record from my tv-card.
Why the hack isn't it working?

I have the following components
Kernel 2.4.19
AviFile 0.7.17
NVidia-Graphics-Card
(all compiled; no rpms ...)

Hauppauge WinTV BT848

Starting avicap from console gets me this:

Available CPU flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca 
cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow

ok

v4l1: video buffer: size 4259840, frames 2
v4l1: memory for snap shots: 0x40a8c000
Resolution: 640 x 480

until here, it works, and now i start recording:

v4lxif::grabSetParams(640, 480, 7)

it hangs.

additional information:
i read, a missing sdl-implementation would cause problems.
due to mplayer (works fine), i have sdl working:
VO: [sdl] 640x272 => 640x272 Planar YV12
SDL: Using driver: x11

i tried all codecs with avicap ... i don't think the codecs are the problem.

what gets me screwed about it, is the fact, that it did work (nearly 
perfectly) on (nearly) the same system as now. i had to use an old version of 
X (3 ??), because i had to use a monitor which was only capable of 640x480.
Some days later i got a 17" and problem was there.
 But now i can neither find the switch back to the old X-Version via drakconf, 
nor i can find the reason, why it doesn't work.
and avicap did a great job, i could record 640x480 with my Duron 600 (compared 
to barely working 320x240 on a win2k-system [long ago] this made me go 8-O  )
do you want to help me?

cu, Uwe
