Okay, this is odd, but the two things I was asked to do: Get a debug dump from tveeprom Set the ivtv_dynbuf=0, which crashed my box
One or both, even though I undid the changes and did a cold reboot, has now apparently fixed the delay, or at least reduced it to the point where the worst case delay for startup is now about 4 seconds, which is nothing... Must have unclogged the pipes somewhere. So, my only problem now is the CPU hogging during captures. Now, I read something about if the CPU is already under a heavy load, syslogd might use a lot of CPU, but that's not what's happening. When I capture doing cat /video/dev > movie.mpg, it's "cat" that's hogging the CPU. I would upgrade (I'm using 0.3.6 (q)) but, I don't want to do that unless someone can tell me they've seen this problem and they know it to be fixed in the latest version. Otherwise everything works pretty well. The only thing I can do to avoid the skipping is to not do any mencoding while I'm capturing, but that's problematic. If anyone could tell me why on occasion "cat" is going to 40-60% instead of it's normal 1%, I'd really appreciate it.
