Per my other message, yes the order did make a difference. Re-ordering the cards would probably have worked as well as the solution I used which was to modify the entry in the mythfrontend setup screens to point to video17 instead of video16 for the decoder output.

I currently have these loaded: ivtv-firmware-enc-2.04.024-4.at ivtv-kmdl-2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp-0.3.2d-67.rhfc3.at ivtv-firmware-1.8a-4.at ivtvdev-0.8-1.rhfc3.at ivtv-firmware-dec-2.02.023-4.at perl-Video-ivtv-0.13-6.rhfc3.at ivtv-0.3.2d-67.rhfc3.at > (On a personal note, I gave up on FC3 and downgraded to FC2 and since > then my system has been a lot more stable.

I did need to copy the nvidia* files to the udev/devices directory to get that part working but have not had to do anything with the video stuff yet. I was able to run the dd test with both cards and created files I was able to play through mplayer. It maybe that I need to reorder the cards to get the 350 as video0 again and the 250 as video1. I suspect though that there is an entry buried in the database that I could modify just like the encoder entry to get this working correctly. BTW: thanks for the reply. It helps to know someone is listening. :) -- Scot L. Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] Last night I met upon the stair A little man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Gee how I wish he'd go away!
