My tuner card works on XP. I have analog cable.
On Gentoo, although I get data from /dev/video0, I'm having trouble
playing the output with mplayer. I can
generate a file with output using the following command:
# cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg
# ls -al
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41932800 Oct 8 23:01 test.mpg
When I play the video in mplayer I get no video and no error. Here is
the output:
MPlayer dev-SVN-r26753-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team

Playing test.mpg.
Exiting... (End of file)
What steps can I take to troubleshoot this problem? Is analog
supported by the drivers? I see some posts
that say yes and some that say no.
