Here is the output from lavrec and my dmesg since the > loading of the driver (notice no dropped frames): Which recording command do you use ? You should not use a too high qality around 30-40. My command for the buz lookes like that: > lavrec -f a -i P -d 1 -q 41 -s -l 70 -R l -U test03.avi You will have to change that command for NTSC. > ++ WARN: [lavrec] Unable to set negative priority for main thread > ++ WARN: [lavrec] Pthread Real-time scheduling for main thread could not be enabled > ++ WARN: [lavrec] Unable to set negative priority for audio thread. > ++ WARN: [lavrec] Pthread Real-time scheduling for audio thread could not be enabled. > **ERROR: [lavrec] Error writing to output file legiao1.avi: Internal: broken JPEG > format > ++ WARN: [lavrec] Closing file(s) and exiting - output file(s) my not be readable > due to error > 0.01.48:09 int:033 lst: 0 ins: 0 del: 0 ae: 14 td1=0.004 td2=0.022 > Recording time : 0.01.48:09 > Lost frames : 000 > A/V sync ins/del: 000/000 > Audio errors : 014 Seems that you are not root when you record. If you record as root those warning ...Real-time scheduling... should disappear. This can improve the reliability of recording. Which sound card do you use ? lavrec reports Audio errors, that should not happen. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- 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
