Well if that's all you want to do then mythtv is probably a bit over the top, particularly since manual recording is a bit fiddly in 0.18.1. Once you've got the ivtv drivers working then the following command works very nicely for creating mpeg files that can be converted to DVD. dd if=/dev/video0 of=~/yourfile.mpg bs=64k _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
