Hi My first post here as a newcomer to the field of video capture. I have installed a Hauppauge pvr-150 in my PC running Ubuntu 9.10. I wish to use it to convert my stack of video tapes to DVD before my ageing video recorder dies.
With a bit of googling I learnt that I should install ivtv-utils and am able to set the input channel to the composite i/p with v4l2-ctl --set-input=2 I was then very pleased to find that, due to the hard work of many out there over the years, I am able to type cat /dev/video0 > myfile.mpg to capture the signal to an mpg file, or vlc pvr:///dev/video0 to see it live in VLC I am sure that there a way that I can view it and record it at the same time but I have not managed to work out how. Any help would be much appreciated. Colin Law _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
