I am curious about the warning regarding the encoder firmware. I assume that's the ivtv-fw-enc.bin file which I got off the CD that came with the card (actually, I think it had a different name on the CD). It looks like ivtv is recommending an older version. Could that be my problem? And what about the invalid ioctl for cx25840? Is that anything? Another question: Is it possible that if I used mencoder to do the capture, that it might be a better solution? I don't know if maybe the issue might have to do with simply writing the huge files that's causing the problem. The machine is certainly capable (assuming the capture card isn't using 40% of the CPU) of performing a first pass mpeg-4 encoding on the input which would take up a lot less space. Thanks.
