For the past few months I've been trying to play DVDs and XVids through the pvr 350's tv out. Thanks to all the great work that's been on the driver, thinks have improved dramatically to the point that I've got something that's about 90% ok. Unfortunately I've still got a few problems and since others to this list apear to have reported success I thought I'd share them in order to see if there is any solution. If not then I'm more than happy to wait for the driver to improve.
For reference I'm using a asus pundit-r with a 2.4 Celeron running FC3. I've used almost every single version of ivtv from 0.3.6.x to 0.3.7k (current). My current X driver is 0.10.6 CPU load when playing both XVids and DVDs is around 50%. Both DVDs and XVids play perfectly through my onboard video. I have two main problems: 1. The video is not smooth. Whenever I first play the video it stutters greatly, although this settles down after a while (maybe 10 seconds). After this the video is pretty watchable although it does not look completely smooth. Fast forwarding and rewinding brings about another 10 seconds of heavy stuttering. 2. (Possibly related to point 1) The video and audio are not synced. The amount of delay varies between almost perfect and about 1 second although for the most part it is watchable but annoying if that makes any sense. The amount of deay varies within the same film and, like the stuttering, is not helped by fast forwarding and rewinding. Any help would be much appreciated thanks, Chris ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list ivtv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ivtv-devel
