I experience the same error after unloading and reloading ivtv and using cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg.
I should note it appears to occur on certain color combinations. On one TV show, for instance, the camera cuts between a man in the studio with a large blue background (blue color takes up most of the frame) and another man in the field (with different colors). When on the man in the field, this distortion occurs, but when it cuts back to the blue studio, the distortion stops immediately. So, I think it's based on the frame being displayed if that's possible.. - Christopher Thielen Hans Verkuil wrote: >> I have tried using multiple playback programs (mythtv, vlc, quicktime, >> etc.) and I'm confident the video file is not corrupt or being played >> back incorrectly.
