[mythtv-users] Is anyone successfully using a Pioneer DVR-110D to burn from mythburn?
Folks: I won't waste bandwidth chronicling all the twists and turns here, but I am having a very difficult time getting a Pioneer DVR-110D drive to burn using mkisofs. A quick recap: 1) Yes, DMA is enabled and working. Transfer mode preferred by my setup is UDMA4, but changing to SDMA makes no difference. 1a) Yes, there's an 80-wire cable on the drive. 2) Yes, cdrtools is up-to-the-bleeding-edge and built from source on my machine. 3) Trying different media (Fujifilm DVD-RW and Maxell DVD-R) does produce different results. I can get a burn to complete on the Maxells by throttling the speed down (via speed=1 to growisofs), but it won't burn full speed. The DVD-RWs always fail at the same place, around 33% of the way through. 4) Size does not matter -- a 1 hr. show or a 7-minute manual grab behaves as badly as a (requanted) 2-hour movie. I can post long logfiles and specific errors if anyone thinks it'll help them. All the best, Tb. -- _________ Thomas R.

[mythtv-users] Has somebody got a *complete* list of dependencies for mythburn?
Crew: I've been trying to get mythburn running. This appears to be a matter of getting it from CVS and then trying to follow a progression of bug-stomps reported via various discussion spaces. I'm having trouble doing this, for a couple of reasons strongly tied to my own ignorance about how transcoding and DVD burning work, made worse by the scattered nature of information about mythburn. First, which packages/software does mythburn require as prerequisites for installation? Which version of ProjectX, for example? Does someone have a comprehensive list, including further dependencies by required packages? (for example, ProjectX is either bitching that it needs more java libraries from somewhere or other, or it's bitching that it needs the means to get them itself, I can't tell which). I'm installing on top of FC4. Second, can someone briefly describe for me, step-by-step, the process that mythburn is implementing? It would be very useful to know what sort of intermediate files/outputs it's expecting from one stage to the next, as I have no conceptual map of what series of transformations it's trying to make. Just trying to catch a clue here, but lacking a net. Best, Tb. -- +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Thomas R.

Go check there.. -Ack Ack: Indeed you did see such remarks, and this turned out to be the clue that put me on the track to a solution, which is (for the benefit of others having trouble with NVIDIA GeForce 6600 and other cards with component video outputs): 1) update to the latest NVIDIA drivers, which involves getting both a new kernel module(s) and the actual driver package from NVIDIA. 2) Change the xorg.conf to read Option "TVStandard" "HD480i" instead of TVStandard Composite (or SVIDEO). This seems to solve it. More problematic is the cheesy connection method that the GeForce card uses to break out its outputs, but that's beyond the scope of software (grin).

[mythtv-users] Toshiba 36" HDTV component vid inputs with GeForce 6600 card
Folks: Has anyone got the necessary xorg.conf information for the component output of a GeForce 6600? My TV's a Toshiba 36HF71 36" HDTV; svideo output from the GeForce works just fine, but the component output is way off on color -- everything's a lightly-shaded monochrome blue. I've strolled through the archives here but found nothing directly on point, so if anybody's got a setup like this working, I'd love to hear about it. Best, Tb. -- _________ Thomas R.
