If you want the uncompressed stream, use the YUV device (should be
/dev/video32, but check using ivtv-detect). I think there is still a
small amount of latency, but have a look at the archives as it's been
discussed a few times before. IMHO, it defeats the purpose of having a
hardware encorder and you'd be better off with a bttv card.

Is /dev/video32 a YUV device? The archives all seem to indicate that /dev/video32 is in some HMI format that only mplayer can play, and the previous couple of times I've tried to utilize it I got an extremely garbled output and no sound, even though the mpeg capture worked fine.
As it is, I've got a bttv card installed as well, but this motherboard only has three PCI slots and I hate to take two of those with video capture cards.
