Hi, I've been at my parents house for a few days getting a MythTV installation setup. It's all wokring and my folks are pretty happy. However no good ded goes unpunished. My dad is now asking for a way to capture his videos and be able to watch them in MythTV. As I've only got one more day here before I travel home I'm looking for some ideas.
1) The mythbackend machine has a PVR-150 so it has a (yet untested) S-video input. Does this input work on the PVR-150/250/250? 2) The machine also has 1394 and USB inputs. I understand people are capturing HD over 1394 for that should work if there's a good capture device that can go outside the PC. 3) My folks have 3 VCR's but none have S-video outputs. Would I be better off to suggest he buys a new VCR with an S-Video output and then record that via the input on the PVR? Or is there some USB or 1394 solution that is known to work well under Linux and MythTV. Hi goal is to get the video onto the same /TVstorage partition we're using for Myth recordings and also eventually be able to author a DVD for the family with some of this stuff. He interviewed a number of my relatives 20-30 years ago and wants to save these conversations as part of a family tree project. thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
