Hi there, I'm new into this mailing list and hope someone can help me solving (or understanding) the problem I'm facing;
I'm using a Debian with 2.6.32-686 kernel on my Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz computer with 1GB of RAM... My board is an Hauppage WinTV PVR-350, with modules loaded and it's working, i has used it simply with "cat /dev/video0 > file.avi" to encode VHS tapes using this board. I use the S-VIDEO input, converted from the SCART out of a VHS player (to encode VHS into AVI files) or using the S-VIDEO output of my Video-8 player... Now I'm facing a weird problem! I'm trying to encode video from a Hi-8 (Video8) source, and with some tapes, the video "jumps", some frames are lost, the video out (as sees with "mplayer /dev/video0") sometimes freeze, and I obtain the classical mplayer warning "Your system is too slow etc. etc." while the CPU is under 10% of usage! I have this problem with some tapes, and other tapes goes perfectly. So I suspect they are somewhere damaged. This prevent me to encode (and save!) those tapes correctly! Also, those "damaged" tapes can be seen without problems on my tv-screen, so, what kind of damage is it, giving problems to the wintv card, and not showing any problem on my tv screen? How can I correctly encode a .avi from those tapes? Can please someone help me in this? I'm new into this kind of problems. -- 73 de IW9HGS - Gabriele "Asbesto Molesto" Zaverio Museo dell'Informatica funzionante - Freaknet Computer Museum http://museum.freaknet.org || http://freaknet.org/asbesto GPG Fingerprint: 8935 5586 7F2D 9C5E 51B6 BBC5 EA15 9A4E 613D 44D7 _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
