Re: [ivtv-devel] reported encoding rate

2005-01-29 Thread kevin thayer
this is due to the mpegs being VBR. the speed reported in the stream is the upper-range of the vbr range. (aka the peak bitrate) if you want them to be the same you'll have to lower the burst rate, but some scenes may suffer because of this. It has been brought up before and i think this is 'jus

[ivtv-devel] reported encoding rate

2005-01-29 Thread Joe Briggs
Is it possible that the MPEG stream created by IVTV on a PRV250 contains an incorrect bitrate? If I encode at 6 Mbps for 5 minutes, the file size looks correct. But if I play it with GXine or MPlayer, it reports at something substantially higher like 19.6 Mbps. I have tried the mpeg tool utility m

Re: [ivtv-devel] Success Story (So Far)

why pvr350's? the only difference between a 350 and a 250 is that the 350s can do tv-out most people only need one tv-out at a time, so they buy one 350 and 250's for the rest. if 150's are cheaper, then go with those :) Caveat being that pvr150's use a different chip to do the CC and such than

[ivtv-devel] [patch] better kernel msp3400 support, chann with -d, larger mpg buffer

2005-01-29 Thread Anduin Withers
Attached is the same patch I sent previously which initializes the va struct before calling the msp3400 VIDIOCGAUDIO and disables mute on driver load. I've been using this with the 2.6.10 kernel msp3400 driver very successfully since, well, the last time I sent this patch. (Recordings are quieter,

[ivtv-devel] PVR-350 Audio Level

2005-01-29 Thread Paul Curtis
I realize that there is a method (using ivtvctl) to control the input level to a PVR-350. However, I'm wondering if there has been anyone who knows how to control the input level to the SAA-7127 decoder? Paul --- This SF.Net email is sponsored

Jarrod - I am running Debian too and am very interested in using 2 PVR-500's in a single box. Are you able to capture both composite and tuner on the 500? Also, what kernel and ivtv version are you using? Thanks! Joe On Fri, 2005-01-28 at 12:13, Jarod Wilson wrote: > On Thursday 27 January 2005
