Wow, I finally was able to play back your clip (VLC didn't seem
to do it and Safari on Mac mangled the file, but mplayer from a
firefox download worked).  Thats a very strange flash.  I got a
screen grab of it.  Its a partially shifted (or interlaced) frame
that only occurs for a single frame.  This needs someone from the
dev list to look at it, so I'm cross posting it to that list.

Here's the screen grab (its a tiff, and its 776 Kb) :

   Thanks for the tiff, I couldn't play the file either.

Zot!  I've got the same issue on a PVR-250, one frame every so
often (anywhere between 10secs and a couple minutes) has as the
bottom of its frame shifted horizontally off *just* like that.  I
just assumed my card was crapping out, since my PVR-150 didn't do
it.  Now I'm going to have to investigate.  Running Kubuntu 5.10
and ivtv branches/0.4 and lirc-0.7.2 .

I'm also having this problem on a PVR-250.  However, I find that I
only get it with 0.4.0.  The version I used before 0.4.0 was 0.3.7c,
and I don't see this with 0.3.7c and firmware 0x02040011 or
0x02040024.  I see it on 0.4.0with both of those firmwares and with
0x02050032.  I'm using the S-Video in
on my 250.  The PVR-500 in the same system using its tuners does not
exhibit this problem.  I always record at 640x480.

As is usual in these cases: try to determine the exact version where you see this for the first time. Then I can see what changed and possibly broke something.


I don't remember seeing flickers with the IVTV log entries below. I checked to see if I have any recordings from the time of this entry but the oldest recording i have is Oct 25.

I had posted to the ivtv-users list at the begining of November which contains the details of my set up when I first noticed the issue.

If you need help I can downgrade to a paticular firmware to see if the issue exists.
