That's what you get for using bleeding edge code: the G/S_CODEC ioctls
are removed and replaced by a new mpeg encoder API which is now part of
the v4l2 API standard. I have yet to prepare patches for MythTV to
replace its use of the ivtv private controls by these new controls.
I'll release a ivtv-0.7.0 this weekend for 2.6.17 kernels.
