The Philips saa7130 is the chip on the capture card, and I don't believe it's a decoder or encoder. It's simply an A/D converter as far as I know. It's on an AverMedia DVD EZMaker card, which is simply a frame grabber. My video card is an el cheapo on-board card, so there is no decoder there either. > What is your encoder (e.g. ivtv)? Maybe. Certainly there is no hardware encoder, and I know ivtv is in /etc/modules, so I'm running it. Is ivtv an encoder? > That is what will be associated with /dev/video0. Whatever is associated with /dev/video0, it's broken; but if I'm understanding Joseph correctly, it's not practical to get a raw video stream going through /dev/video0 anyway. And binding a software encoder to /dev/video0 is probably equally impractical.
