I purchased this capture card: AVerMedia DVD EZMaker PCI Deluxe. It has the following MPEG2 encoder: Conexant CX23416-22, and no tuner, it is only for capturing analog video. I am running Fedora Core 5 in an AMD Athlon PC. I thought I needed ivtv drivers so I installed them with yum. It asked me also to upgrade my kernel, so I'm running now this kernel version: 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5. Those are the packages installed: ivtv-firmware-20070217-13.at ivtv-0.10.1-126.fc5.at perl-Video-ivtv-0.13-8.fc5.at ivtv-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5-0.10.1-126.fc5.at plus perl-Video-Frequencies and the forementioned new kernel. When I restart the system, I see those messages as if the driver was loaded and the card somewhat detected: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.10.1 (tagged release) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5 mod_unload 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1 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: Unknown card: vendor/device: 4444/0016 ivtv0: subsystem vendor/device: 1461/c03f ivtv0: cx23416 based ivtv0: Defaulting to Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card ivtv0: Please mail the vendor/device and subsystem vendor/device IDs and what kind of ivtv0: card you have to the ivtv-devel mailinglist (www.ivtvdriver.org) ivtv0: Prefix your subject line with [UNKNOWN CARD]. ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (376836 bytes) ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02060039 cx25840 1-0044: cx25843-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) ivtv0: Invalid EEPROM ivtv0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPEG (4 MB) ivtv0: Registered device video32 for encoder YUV (2 MB) ivtv0: Registered device vbi0 for encoder VBI (1 MB) ivtv0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM audio (1 MB) ivtv0: Registered device radio0 for encoder radio ivtv0: i2c hardware 0x00000020 (wm8775) not found for command 0x4008646d! ivtv0: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150, card #0 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== First of all, I see the driver when starting does not recognize the card and it defaults to the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card. In fact, when I play the VCR and try to capture it with 'cat /dev/video0 /tmp/prueba.mpg', I get a PS MPEG2 file, but which is all black. I could not assert in the documentation from ivtv that my card is actually supported, but I'm wondering if I could pretend I'm using one of the supported cards and make it work. If so, how to set the right card? Another question: I see as if the module was embedded in the kernel, it is not loaded as a kernel module (no reference to it on the modprobe.conf file), and I wonder if this is the best way to do it. Anyway, thanks for your support. PEREVERA |
