Hallo
I was offline for about one day.
It's okay. I appreciate the response.
Usually the AMD chipsets work quite reliabel.The AMD chipset was not known to have any issues until now.
I've discovered 2 issues with the 760MPX
1.) Depending on how nice your devices play on the 64bit/66MHz PCI bus, you may or may not be able to put more than one device there. It's spec-ed for 2, but I've had trouble just putting two on. Using a Tyan Thunder w/ onboard gigabit ethernet and dual channel SCSI (which are connected to that bus) works fine. Disable one of those onboard devices, and toss an ICP Vortex RAID card in, and the bus gets lots of errors.
Solution: There is a force 33MHz jumper. Using it lets you do something like 7 devices, although speed is halved (but it is double that of the 32bit/33mhz bus, and the two bus-es still help limit bus saturation..)
2.) The aforementioned BTTV problems.
The BUZ works half perfect with the CVS zoran drivers.
I can't get those to load. A bunch of unresolved i2c symbols, but i2c is tured on and the 0.9.4 drivers load fine. Is there an i2c patch necessary to support the CVS ones?
I use a 2.4.21
Kernel (from Kernel.org). One problem is that the video is only shown if
the xawtv image size is lowererd to 6x6. And while recording the window
is updated not to often. Both problems might be related to the Matrox
G550 or the Adaptec SCSI adapter I use.
I see choppier video in preview windows than is actually recorded as well.
The recording works very reliable. Currently I have really problems recording from the SB-Life using OSS.
That doesn't work.
I'm using a Hoontech Digital XG card (Yamaha YMFPCI chips) under Alsa. Sound seems to be okay.
Here is my current status: when I do:
lavrec -v 2 -f a -i n -d 4 record.avi
lavrec records but with a LOT of dropped frames (1000/min, approx)
When I do
lavrec -v 2 -f a -i n -d 2 record.avi
lavrec reports --DEBUG: [lavrec] Queueing frame 0
... (numbers count up to 31)
--DEBUG: [lavrec] Queueing frame 31
++ WARN: [lavrec] Closing file(s) and exiting - output file(s) my not be readable due to error

Now, I loaded the kernel module, I used the debug=2, and it's saying:

Info:
Redhat 9.0
Kernel 2.4.21, stock from kernel.org + FreeS/Wan patches + kraxel v4l2
patch bundle (patch-2.4.21-rc4-kraxel)mjpeg tools 1.6.1 and CVS version of mjpeg_tools (got the whole mjpeg_play module) both do this
driver-zoran-0.9.4 does this.
current CVS of driver-zoran just fails to load. Unresolved symbols. -- Writing a network stack from scratch is quite fun. ~~ Matt Caron ~~
