Before I start, my system: linux 2-4-20 KT-133 chipset (Athlon 1-GHZ) LML33 SB-Live (original) OSS drivers Redhat 8.0 20-gig ATA-66 drive (It meets and beats the needs of recording for lavrec)
The driver loads fine and mjpegtools 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 both install and work, except lavrec. When I start recording (reguardless of 'nice') I get at least 1 or 2 ins and del sync errors per second (NOTE: I have to use read() for audio because of the SB-Live). About every 30-50 frames, lavrec pauses (presumably to write the frames to the filesystem.) Just after these pauses is when the frame ins/del's occour. Interestingly enough, this is not the worst of it. After about 3-5 minutes ( it varies time to time) of this, lavrec locks and dies. (Note: if I turn audio off, the recording works file, vis. -a 0). After some voodoo dancing and sacrificial rituals, I was able to hack the commandline into recording for ~1:45 (I am converting VHS's to VCD's) with this command: "lavrec -w -f a -d 2 -i n -t 7300 -q 95 --max-file-size 100 -n 128 --file-flush 1 -U -v1 asdf%03d.avi". After which, it complains about audio being too far out of sync (even though the audio is perfectly sync'ed and recorded as such). I have searched the mailing list, but the only solution I come up with is that my motherboard's PCI handler hates me and my stupid LML33. I anyone can offer insight in this problem, I'd be eternally grateful. TIA, Matthew Meno PS: I unfortunately lost the error message of the audio sync, but if any questions need answering, I'll try to respond as fast as possible. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
