Hello, I have a WinTV PVR-350 card, and am using this with OpenSuse 10.1, together with ivtv 0.6.3. I have the card working and can record programs by copying from the /dev/video0 device in the regular way
cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg The files play fine in mplayer on Linux, but the strange thing is they only play fine on my xbox (using xbox media center) _sometimes_. Most times I have tried to record, the files play with lots of colored artifacts (mainly on the right hand side of the screen), obsuring almost the entire picture. Or that is to put it to nicely - the screen is more or less only blinking, colored squares, without sound. However, I have also managed to record files that plays perfect on the xbox. I can't really say what things I did different, I have used ivtvctl and ivtv-tune but can't really say that I used them differently. My questions now are: - given that I have some files that play well, and some that don't, can I somehow examine them to see if they have been recorded using different options or similar? - are there any options that are more likely to cause this that I can examine further? I understand that this can come down to bugs in XBMC and the mplayer that is used there but I still find it puzzling that I get so different recording results for no obvious reason. Thanks, Claes _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
