try it without tv-viewer simply by using the command

cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg

while the VCR is playing.

Then open the test.mpg file with vlc. You can watch it while it is recording.

Let' s see if this recording works or if again any encoder command errors appear

You can check this in another console with

tail -f /var/log/syslog

I have done some more tinkering... It seems to be related to the composite 
cables coming from the vcr player. ? Tv-viewer would not play. I'm getting a 
lot of this below:


[19727.089020] pvrusb2: ***WARNING*** device's encoder appears to be stuck 
(status=0x00000003)
[19727.089023] pvrusb2: Encoder command: 0x81
[19727.089024] pvrusb2: Giving up on command.? This is normally recovered via a 
firmware reload and re-initialization; concern is only warranted if this 
happens repeatedly and rapidly.
