Just a warning to V4L application developers, the rivatv capture driver does format conversion from UYVY to everything else it claims to support. This answers part of the performance problems users of tvtime were experiencing when using this driver, since we ask for YUY2, and the driver converts.
The author of the driver recommended I string compare on the driver name to see if it's the rivatv driver, and if so, use UYVY (rather than my suggestion of having the driver not falsely claim to support YUY2 even though it doesn't). I find it annoying that drivers exist that do format conversion, especially when it's not too hard for my app to support UYVY, and avoid these bug reports about poor performance. -- Billy Biggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
