I'm using ivtv 0.4.1 with an PVR350 Rev 991 When turning on passthrough (ivtvctl -K 1) sometimes it happens that one can see the video stream together with a ghost video that seems to be about 60 ms late. This ghost video is obviously annoying but is also present on recordings (e.g. when doing a "cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg")
When I turn on passthrough and then switch to the tuner (ivtvctl -p 4) the ghost image vanishes. Then I can switch to SCART IN (ivtvctl -p 5) or CINCH IN (ivtvctl -p 0) and the picture remains without ghost images. But when I start recording with "cat", sometimes the ghost video stream reappears. If the ghost video stream was only on the output I could live with it. But as it is also shown on the recording, it is really a problem. So my current workaround is like that: 1. Switch to the desired video input (ivtvctl -p x) 2. Start recording (cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg) 3. While recording switch to the tuner (ivtvctl -p 4) in order to let the ghost video stream vanish 4. Switch back again to the desired video input 5. Record the desired show 6. Stop recording 7. Cut the mpg file afterwards If you have any suggestions for me to try I would be grateful. I could also do some minor changes to the sources if you had ideas for me or something to try.
