The ivtv source I have (0.7.0) has an experimental "test" directory with several programs called vbi, vbi-detect, vbi-passthrough, etc. Here's what I get when I run them:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] test]# ./vbi 00001000, 2304 (and then it just hangs here) [EMAIL PROTECTED] test]# ./vbi-detect Field 0: Line 6: Line 7: Line 8: Line 9: Line 10: Line 11: Line 12: Line 13: Line 14: Line 15: Line 16: Line 17: Line 18: CC Line 19: Line 20: Line 21: Line 22: Line 23: Field 1: Line 6: Line 7: Line 8: Line 9: Line 10: Line 11: Line 12: Line 13: Line 14: Line 15: Line 16: Line 17: Line 18: CC Line 19: Line 20: Line 21: Line 22: Line 23: That looks promising because it's detecting some sort of closed captioning. I have no idea what this output means, though. As for vbi-passthrough, it just asks for the incoming vbi and outgoing vbi. I don't know what the purpose of that is. Using bttv, I need 4 PCI slots to record 2 channels at the same time (2 bttv receivers and 2 audio devices)... cutting this down to 1 slot with a PVR-500 would be ENORMOUSLY helpful to me, but I need solid closed captioning support first. Any help you can provide is greatly, hugely appreciated.
