I get that problem with the python_compile step. You should remove the python_compile argument from the 'all:' dependency list, make install, then perform the python_compile manually using the following (you must have python 2.x installed on your system): cd /usr/local/freevo /usr/bin/python src/

I've recently been playing with video quality. I'd say the lowest you want to go is around 1200 for a bit rate. I've recorded at 4000, which is super quality, but requires quite a bit of room for an hour of video (about 2GB if I recall correctly). 1500 I believe is where I record now, which

I would definitely, definitely avoid it. The PVR USB model is a workable option, but USB isn't fast enough to provide raw video to Linux. The PVR model uses relatively low bitrate MPEG2, so it's passable, but using a card (or a firewire/USB 2 tuner, if they exist) would be a better option. If y
