Interesting. is there actually any comprehensive documentation about ivtv? I only found scratches and pieces. Uwe Only what comes with it I think. The doc directory in the source is worth a look. This is also worth a look: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Main_Page The driver has been in such a rapid state of development that any documentation would quickly be out of date. It is considerably more mature lately. The mythtv mailing list archives are also a very good source of knowledge. I would say that a very big percentage of people using these cards under linux do so in a mythtv box. The archives are very good and appear here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/ simply running ivtvctl | less gives you a good idea of what you can control. -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Problem is, I don't know why and I hate it when magic is part of IT. ;-) The whole difference between yesterday and today is that I tried to compile the new kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 (as compared to r3). That compilation failed. Since I hadn't time to investigate, I just left it like that. Nothing installed, no reboot, noting. All of a sudden audio is coming out of that bugger at a decent volume. :-( Audio quality is still poor, high noise level and it doesn't sound like 50Hz noise. So maybe, it's that VCR - have to check that by plugging the VCR directly into a TV. Anyway, forward to the next step of creating a video DVD from that MPEG2 stream!
