have you tried recording with a bigger buffer size ?
Hmm, that seems to be a problem with the chipset. I never had a Intel
chipset the last 7 years. That problem was with the DC10. It might not
be a problem with the DC30.
So you might try to change that in the zoran driver, search for Natoma,
you should fined something like that:
if (pci_pci_problems & PCIPCI_NATOMA && zr->revision <= 1) {
zr->jpg_buffers.need_contiguous = 1;
dprintk(1,
KERN_INFO
"%s: ZR36057/Natoma bug, max. MJPEG buffer size is 128K\n",
ZR_DEVNAME(zr));
}
remove at least the zr->jpg_buffers... line than this limit should not
be there. But I don't know what happen when you try to record with a
bigger buffer size.
auf hoffentlich bald,
