I have a DVico Fusion HD DVB-t vid card which has an s-video input.
I am currently attempting to record a VHS tape ( not copy protected)
from my VCR via the s-video in of the Dvico card and audio via the AUX
sound input on the mobo.
No luck via the DVico card with Kaffeine, MPlayer etc.
Both video and sound work fine using TVTime, which unfortunately has no
record function.
I can either run it from the Menu or via command line
tvtime --nowidescreen --norm=PAL
The video device is /dev/video0
I have tried recording it with
cat /dev/video0 > /home/bill/Videos/test.mpg
which creates the test.mpg ok, but it appears to not actually capture
anything.
Googling has pleny of links for Desktop Recording, using VLC to record
streams etc, none of which seem directly applicable as I have only
managed to get both video and sound via TVTime
This will be a one-time only job and I dont really want to have to pay
to have the tape "professionally" copied.
Advice/links please.
Thanks
