I can reach my DC30 card with either of these commands: #1: $ xawtv #2: $ xawtv -c /dev/video0 For the two options I get different Video source alternatives #1 "composite", "svideo", "internal/comp" #2 "Composite", "S-Video", "Internal/comp" Using #1 when pre-selecting "svideo" in .xawtv returns b/w video. Using #2 when pre-selecting "S-Video" in .xawtv returns b/w video. Using #1 with "S-Video" setting or #2 with "svideo" setting in .xawtv: "invalid value for input" (and initially no video). Using #1 I get color by changing from Capture "overlay" to "none" or "grabdisplay" and back to "overlay". Using #2 I get color by changing from Video source "S-Video" to "Composite" or "Internal/comp" and back to "S-Video". #2 has a much longer reaction time on commands than #1 Using #1 with .xavtw setting "input = svideo" and any illegal channel name (i.e. $ xawtv GIVEMECOLORNOW) returns the error message "station "[input]" not found. *** As a side effect, you get PAL svideo in color! *** Alas, no matter what I do with xawtv first, lavrec currently won't play nice and only saves b/w SVIDEO. > > * lavrec does b/w only for SVHS (-iP) > Still open I would say. > I have played with the zoran driver, and got SVHS working. > SVHS in color recording workes if the drivers is set to SVHS > when loading the driver.

Try my "solution" for xawtv then: .xawtv [defaults] norm = PAL input = svideo capture = over $ xawtv GIVEMECOLORNOW If you don't get color at first attempt, try changing from Capture "overlay" to "none" or "grabdisplay" and back to "overlay". TV norm and Video source will be reported as unknown in xawtv, but it works... Alternately, you can use this setting in .xawtv: [defaults] norm = PAL input = S-Video capture = over $ xawtv -c /dev/video0 GIVEMECOLORNOW TV norm and Video source is then reported correctly by xawtv, but command reaction time is very slow... I'm using xawtv 3.93 pre-compiled for FC3 2.6.9-1.667 available on atrpms.net Hans ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
