I posted an hour ago about the ivtv-enc-vbi related oops, and was
further wondering:

Is this sort of CPU utilization normal?

snip from top cmd, cpu util. is 30% for ivtv-enc-vbi

 1603 root       5 -10     0    0    0 S 30.0  0.0   1:57.95
ivtv-enc-vbi
 1963 root      10  -5     0    0    0 S  9.9  0.0   2:30.82 md2_raid5
 8697 root      32  17  105m  46m  13m R  9.5  4.7   0:28.55
mythcommflag
 1602 root       6 -10     0    0    0 S  3.0  0.0   0:10.47 ivtv-enc
 1964 root      10  -5     0    0    0 D  1.0  0.0   0:16.64 md2_resync
 3090 root      15   0  331m  45m  15m S  0.7  4.5   1:32.14 mythbackend

also, off topic a bit, but:

I'm using the latest mythtv from atrpms, and there seems to be no way to
turn off vbi once you've selected a pvr150,250,etc. type card.

Is there some easy way I can force ivtv-enc-vbi to not run/not be
available, since it seems to be causing me grief, and I don't care
about closed captioning?

It seems to be off when querying it with ivtvctl:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ivtvctl -W -d /dev/video0
ioctl IVTV_IOC_G_VBI_PASSTHROUGH ok
VBI passthrough mode is 00000000
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ivtvctl -W -d /dev/video1
ioctl IVTV_IOC_G_VBI_PASSTHROUGH ok
VBI passthrough mode is 00000000
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ivtvctl -W -d /dev/video2
ioctl IVTV_IOC_G_VBI_PASSTHROUGH ok
VBI passthrough mode is 00000000

so I'm wondering why ivtv-enc-vbi need be running at all, and it's using
30% cpu?

Thanks for any insight,
Robert Zilcoski
