Re: [ivtv-devel] PVR-500 not working - Slightly OT

[Morten Rønseth]

I have the 5200 running with xvmc. In mythtv, first do "./configure --enable-xvmc" (you might also want --disable-lirc), then "qmake mythtv.pro" followed by "make" & "make install". My CPU load dropped from 45 - 50 % to 13 - 14% (1.5 GHz Sempron) when watching TV. This is with the latest nVidia driver.   Only problem is that OSD doesn't work properly - yet. You get a very jittery image as long as the OSD is displayed, image returns to normal when it disappears. Cheers, -Morten Gregory J. Haase wrote: While we're on this (off) topic... Does anyone with the FX5200 (or actually I have the FX5500) have any experience getting xvmc to work with the nVidia drivers. I can't seem to get it going.

I've got a PVR-350 and the ivtvdev driver works for me, but sometimes is a little buggy and offers little support for other kinds of video playback. For those who use the FX5200, is the s-video out for watching standard definition comparible to the output of the PVR-350? Has anyone gone from one to the other? -Ed -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 1:53 PM To: ivtv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [ivtv-devel] PVR-500 not working On Apr 11, 2005 9:53 AM, Dan Littlejohn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Matt: I am beginning to wonder if this might be a hardware problem. I do not know if you posted your hardware, but could you for comparison? This is mine is for the backend they would be going into AMD athlon 3200 an7 motherboard fx5200 1 gig corsair 400 ram (super value or something like that) seasonic tornado 350W ps Dan Ha... nearly identical AMD athlon XP 3200 Abit AN7... (-S2 I think) FX5200 512MB 400 RAM Silverstone ST400 400W (I think, might be a 360W, can't remember) At this point, I'm almost willing to send my particular PVR-500MCE whitebox card off to Jarod or Chris so that they can try and make it work and send it back to me when they've got a driver that works. I have a feeling that the PVR-500's they've gotten to work have a different revision chipset. Several, at least 4 or 5, people have said they've had the same identical error.
