I'm sure it's mentioned elsewhere, but perhaps that part of the howto should mentioned the preferred (most-likely to work) sequence: Start TV application Start Lavrec Stop Lavrec Stop TV application I think the howto is just trying to avoid starting or stopping the TV app while lavrec is active. my ati won't capture using lavrec, but the capture tool I use did Very Bad Things(tm) when I shutdown xawtv (TV app) while recording. Watching what gets captured works great. happy new year (Gregorian Calendar). ------------------------------------------------------- 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
