make sure your mpeg2 player supports .mp2 files - to check here is a
resource for
an MPEG-2 bitstream.
ftp://ftp.tek.com/tv/test/streams/Element/index.html
if your player can handle the .mp2 files then check to see if
you can remove the kfir module successfully with:
rmmod kfir - is this successful? or does it hang.
also
try insmod kfir -streamtype=1 vidinmode=1 vidinput=1
streamtype=1 indicates a video elementary stream, (the default is a program
stream - i.e audio and video).
The default rate it 4.5 Mbits per second.
cat the file to foo.mp2 - some players assume .mpeg are mpeg-1 files and
.mp2 are mpeg-2.
Maybe post the first 200 bytes of the mpeg2 steam with "od -x" so I can see
if it 'looks'
like a good mpeg2 stream.

Subject: [mpeg2] Help getting started w/BMK board
I just got my BMK board in today, and can't make it work. It's working
fine under Win98 SE with driver v4.23. For Linux, I'm testing it in a
different machine, if that matters, using firmware from the drivers that
are running the board under Windows.
I'm trying to do 3 Mbit/s 720x480 NTSC encoding, from the S-Video
input. (I've also tried the composite.) Here's my insmod command:
# insmod kfir vidinmode=1 vidoutmode=0 vidsize=0x26 vidrate=3000000 \
vidinput=1 mpeg1mode=0
...which causes this output:
kfir: Kfir board revision 5e
kfir: Reset Kfir and PLL ... done
kfir: ADSP initialization...done
kfir: segment: 0 Done
kfir: segment: 1 Done
kfir: segment: 2 Done
kfir: segment: 3 Done
kfir: segment: 4 Done
kfir: segment: 5 Done
kfir: done
saa7113: version=11
saa7113: attaching SAA7113 at 0x4a
kfir: saa7113 decoder attached
kfir: i2c attach [SAA7113]
i2c-core.o: client [SAA7113] registered to adapter [kfir #0](pos. 0).
saa7113: status=a1
saa7113: attached to adapter kfir #0
i2c-core.o: adapter kfir #0 registered as adapter 0.
kfir: Found i2c device at: 0x4a
kfir: decoder status=b
When I "cat /dev/video > foo.mpg" I get what looks like enough data to
be 3 Mbit/s (I haven't done any calculations to be sure), but no
software or hardware player I have will understand the result file.
I do have a PAL video CD player at home I could bring in here (my
office), but that would only be useful for diagnostic purposes. I will
have to get this working with NTSC eventually.
Any clues?
