Hi Lauri,
since none of the real experts answerd yet, I sum up what I remember from reading the mailing list >I've read from the list that there are some problems with OSD activity >causing video corruption. E.g. DVD subtitling causes a corrupted image, >was it, every fifth second. > >Now my questions is (this has probably been answered on the list already, >but I could not find it with the search engine, sorry): > >Is the corruption caused by the application (VDR), the driver, the >firmware, or the hardware? And is there any light at the end of the >tunnel, i.e. is there any way of fixing it? > Basically its a hardware problem: not enough memory. The driver developers have to do a compromise between reliability of osd and other functions. They did a very good job improving this, compared to the beginning. vdr does it`s best to cope with the problems, but don`t cause them. The amount of problem correlates with number of colours (bits per pixel) and size of bitmap. >Thus I'm a bit worried will it ever be possible to implement subtitling >for the TechnoTrend cards > I think this should be possible, because you don`t need colours and only a small part of the screen >Somebody suggested using videotext for subtitling. Is it possible though >the driver somehow? > I don`t really know, but I think: yes >One more thing about videotext: one finnish broadcaster is broadcasting >the plain old video text over DVB now. Should I be able to see it with the >DVB driver and VDR? I'm using composite output if that makes any >difference... > Yes this should work! If you give the right PID in channels.conf, vdr/the driver just forward the signal and the TV-set can show it like usual. It does work perfectly here (composite out too) Somebody is working on further vtx support (caching ...)
