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.
I'll second this. The CPU usage is down, but the stutter keeps me using
my hardware DVD player.
I have a 2.53Ghz Celeron in a Shuttle running FC3 (stock uptodate
kernel) and see similar behaviour. The image motion is not always
smooth and a few % of frames are skipped/dropped by xine or aren't
synced properly in the X/ivtv driver. It's most noticable on a smooth
panning shot. I thought it was due to cpufreq so I switched that off
with no improvement. I don't have any av sync issues.
I agree, it's 90% ok, maybe even 95% but I've never really achieved
100% even though my CPU is only ~40-50% busy. Are you recording off
the PVR350 at the same time that you're watching Xv?
no. it happens regardless.
