Thanks John,
I have progressed quite alot in the meantime.
I can re-construct the problem even outside Freevo:
sequence 1 : results in a good picture
1. when the system is re-booted I run mplayer
/dev/video0. I get a noisy picture, most of which is
noise (like the PVR-150 tuner noise) and a small tv
stripe at the bottom. I looked at the ivtvctl results
and it is configured to input 6 ( I use input 3 for TV
input)
2. I do ivtvctl AND set input to 3 (composite)
3. repeat "mplayer /dev/video0" and now get a clear
picture
4. If I now start freevo I get a clear recording and
clear TV picture. This is also true if I start freevo
after step 1.
sequence 2 : results in a badly interlaced picture
1. when the system is re-booted I do ivtvctl AND set
input to 3 (composite)
2. run "mplayer /dev/video0" and now get a bad
interlaced picture
3. If I now start freevo I get a bad recording and bad
TV picture. This is also true if I start freevo after
step 1.
my take is that this is an ivtv issue. I tried
downloading the latest ivtv 3.7h but am having trouble
with the Make command. I have posted for help in the
ivtv mailing lists.
I can also mention that as my freevo is configured to
startup automatically with KDE , I can let it go
through this process and as lon as I exit freevo
without doing anything, I can continue with sequence 1
and all is good.
Thanks for your help and keep enjoying life.
Ilan
Hi Ilan,
reading through your post it definately seems like an ivtv problem, hope
you find the answer on their list.
