In case anyone else is noticing what I said below, adding -autosync 30 fixes everything. The only thing I get now is an occasional hiccup (probably a dropped frame here and there in the capture).
In case anyone is interested, I have a pretty good pvr setup now. I have a hauppauge wintv 250 capture with the mpeg2 encoder on board. the linux driver is in the alpha stage, but it works ok. I have an athlon xp 2100+ with 512 RAM and a 120 gig drive. I capture at 720x480 and 8 mbit (I can do anything between 2 and 16 actually). I'm running gentoo with kernel 2.4.20, mplayer 0.90, and DirectFB cvs from about 3 weeks ago. I play the files with mplayer -vo dfbmga:fieldparity=0 -autosync 30 -fs -cache 8192 and it all works well. When I get around to writing a script to read xmltv's output, it will record shows listed in a text file, but I'm lazy and for now, I just use crontab -e Thanks for everyone's help and great job on DirectFB. -p On Tue, 3 Jun 2003, Peter Larkowski wrote: > Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2003 08:14:50 -0400 > From: Peter Larkowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [directfb-users] Interlacing Problem? > > Hi guys. > > I use a matrox g400 with cvs directfb from about a week or so ago.
