I got the ivtv software installed and when I try to run cat > /dev/video0 > test.mpg the file won't play, so I ran the dmesg command to get this info.

ivtv:  ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv:  version 0.8.0 (tagged release) loading
ivtv:  Linux version: 2.6.18.1 SMP mod_unload gcc-3.4
ivtv:  In case of problems please include the debug info between
ivtv:  the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with
ivtv:  any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.
ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card (cx23416 based)
ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?
ivtv0 warning: failed loading encoder firmware
ivtv0 warning: Error loading firmware -3!
ivtv0: Error -3 initializing firmware.
ivtv0: Error -12 on initialization
ivtv: probe of 0000:06:02.0 failed with error -12
ivtv:  ====================  END INIT IVTV  ====================

Why would my firmware not be loading, and how do I correct this problem?   Also my input is going to be svideo instead of the standard input, I didn't see an option in v4l2-ctl to select the input correctly.

Thanks,

John
