I don't have a tv card and I've never used avifile but you might have better success with mencoder (part of mplayer), see http://mplayerhq.hu. Examples seem to suggest it's possible to use mencoder to grab the input from a TV (card) and encode the audio into AVI or other supported formats. Couple that with a crontab setup and you've got a tivo :). It also seems you have a very high level of control on the encoding side, but it's also difficult to figure out how to do it :). There are some examples here: http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/documentation.html#tv_examples/ Whether mpleyer is more or less difficult to compile than avifile given your current setup is left as an exercise (grin). And there should be RPMs of both, try plf (plf.zarb.org). One of these days I should get a tv card. It seems there would be interesting possibilities. > JG Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Eric is right... you need everything Xine related that PLF has and poof
it works. Did for me anyway. Not PLF is finalizing everything for 9.1
right now so if something isn't quite right... let 'em know and I'll bet
they are already fixing it. However for me no problems so far.

Re: [expert] Anyone using vcr on mdk9?
Yes, because of DVD regulations, descrambling libraries are not included in
Mandrake.
However, they are included in PLF packages.
You'll want to add a PLF source (and contrib) using, for example,
http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon
and install :
urpmi libdvdread2
urpmi xine-dvdnav
It will also automatically install libdvdcss2 (the one necessary for
decrypting DVDs), check it did it.
Then you can use Xine for DVDs.
You may want to use mplayer as well, or Ogle.

Re: [expert] Anyone using vcr on mdk9?
I could not even play DVD on my Mandy 9.1rc2!! using
xmovie!!
Any pointers? Have to admit i did not perform any
tweaking, just installed the OS, with xmovie, popped
in the DVD, and expected it to work
Any pointers i should be reading to enable this?
I might get some time to work on it this weekend.

Re: [expert] Anyone using vcr on mdk9?
I also use mencoder to record tv.
This is a script I use :
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
1 ) freq=647.25
chaine=tf1 ;;
2 ) freq=687.25
chaine=france2 ;;
3 ) freq=735.25
chaine=france3 ;;
4 ) freq=823.25
chaine=canal+ ;;
5 ) freq=671.25
chaine=arte ;;
6 ) freq=799.25
chaine=m6 ;;
7 ) freq=775.25
chaine=tv5 ;;
* ) echo "unknown channel"
exit ;;
esac
echo "Press "ENTER" to start recording channel $chaine..."
read
mencoder -tv
on:Driver=v4l:input=0:norm=SECAM:freq=$freq:width=768:height=576 -vop
pp=hb/vb/dr/al/lb -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg -o
${chaine}.avi
Note 1 : this is for France, with SECAM. In another country, you might find
your channel frequencies on the web : . If you use PAL, change norm=SECAM to
PAL of course.
Note 2 : vcodec=mjpeg here : picture will be very nice, and does not need a
powerful CPU, but the file is huge, you need a big HD. You may use
vcodec=mpeg4 but you may see compression artifacts and need a good CPU for
25 fps encodings. Make some tests !
Note 3 : if you have no sound, open aumix and check not only line level, but
also IGain level (very important). It has to be non null !
Note 4 : this script is very simple, with shutdown and acron you may use it
as a real programmed VCR.
