The file redirection ' >/path/to/file' is done by the shell that interpretes the command. You might want to give sudo sh -c 'echo "composite" >/sys/class/pvrusb2/sn*/ctl_input/cur_val' a try. Make sure there is a valid composite signal. Then try dd if=/dev/video0 of=test.mpg bs=4096 count=1000 which should take less than 10 seconds. If the file does play, e.g. mplayer outputs A: 0.2 V: 0.3 A-V: -0.138 ct: 0.000 2/ 2 ??% ??% ??,?% 0 0 Broken frame at 0x236A0 A: 3.5 V: 3.8 A-V: -0.327 ct: -0.285 90/ 90 11% 4% 0.6% 0 0 but contains a black image then the signal doesn't reach the working encoder chip. Support for the last variant of the hvr-1900 is very recent. You may need to upgrade to linux 2.6.35.4.
