OK, I have a new theory about this. When reading your reply you mentioned
something about this being the TV module and it made me realize that I didn't
describe this well enough. Yes, this is the TV module and this only occurs
when either recording or or watching video directly from the TV card. This
does not occur when I am watching video that I did not record myself. Also
once I have tried watching TV in Freevo it seems to lock in this weird
setting. If I try mplayer /dev/video0, before using freevo, everything is
OK, then I try freevo and get weird output from the TV then I quit and try
mplayer /dev/video0 again and the same weirdness is there as when I tried in
freevo. The only way I can get back to normal output is to reboot or
to 'rmmod ivtv' and then 'modprobe ivtv' again.
So here is my new theory. I think that I may have some messed up
IVTV_OPTIONS. I set these in my local_conf.py when I was using IVTV 0.4 with
SuSE 10.0 not I am using IVTV 1.x with SuSE 10.2 and a new mobo and
processor. Would these options have changed? I used ivtvctl -a before to
get these values, but this has changed with this new driver version. How do
I get the settings that I need?
Here are my ivtv options:
TV_IVTV_OPTIONS = {
'input' : 0,
'resolution' : '720x480',
'aspect' : 2,
'audio_bitmask' : 233,
'bframes' : 3,
'bitrate_mode' : 0,
'bitrate' : 6000000,
'bitrate_peak' : 9000000,
'dnr_mode' : 0,
'dnr_spatial' : 0,
'dnr_temporal' : 8,
'dnr_type' : 0,
'framerate' : 0,
'framespergop' : 15,
'gop_closure' : 1,
'pulldown' : 0,
'stream_type' : 0,
}
Let me know what you think.

Tom
