There have been reports about garbled CC recordings. I'll look into that
this weekend. I also know that ivtv-1.0.0 and up contain bugs in
outputting CC over the card's TV-out. These are fixed in the latest
v4l-dvb repository at www.linuxtv.org/hg (and these fixes will appear
in 2.6.24).
If you playback a known good recording, is the CC output correct in that
case? So it only happens with new recordings?

Hans
