Hi,
you won't get an avi file just because you provide avi as file
extension. Your device delivers a MPEG PS stream. So better name the
file accordingly (e.g. somevid.mpeg). If you want to recode the file
later you can use mencoder, ffmpeg, avidemux...

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.
