I believe saa7130 is the decoder.
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?
ivtv doesn't even need to be on your system. You should remove all reference to it from /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf. ivtv is the kernel module/driver for PVR-x50 cards and their equivalents, which are all hardware MPEG encoder cards.
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.
Could you please post the output of the following commands (might need to be root):
grep -i -e "tv" -e "tuner" -e "msp" /var/log/messages
and
/sbin/lspci-JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
