[ivtv-devel] Quality of PVR-350 output saa7129

2005-02-04 Thread Marco Coli
Hello. I recently did set up a myth system. I am in Italy. I own a PVR350 model = 48139, one equipped with the new decoder chip saa7129. I use only S-Video input and output in S-Video I am very pleased for the encoding quality, but I am disappointed about the decoding. Colors are perfect, but t

Thanks for the prep_frame/vsync tip John, I hope I have some time this week-end to give it a try. Same behavior as the other posters for me on this, using a 3Ghz P4. When I use the decoder, the output just stops after x minutes. And when that happens, the encoder, if it is running at the same tim

Matt, I have a pvr-150. I was getting tuner audio on the svideo port starting with ivtv-0.3.2b. Can you please try that driver version and verify if you get tuner audio on the svideo port starting there. This will help be determine exactly where the audio is coming from on these boards. Thanks

I dont fully understand whats happening because i think everyone should suffer this tearing. Basically the x driver splits large updates into 2 calls to prep_frame. Each call to prep_frame in the driver waits for a vsync to occur so we should allways see tearing. You could easily modify the xdriver

Ya I have to use the X11 driver as well. The /dev/video16 device works great for about 5 or 10 min then hangs. S I have to use the cpu to decode in realtime which uses up my 3.2 ghx P4. The X11 driver is reliable but really consumes the cpu. Does this happen to anyone else?

Take your PVR output and do: If you want some other sound included: convert an audio file to Ac3: ffmpeg -i foo.wav -ab 224 -ar 48000 foo.ac3 mplex -f8 -o foo.vob [ ] The audio file is optional. then it gets complicated for the menus. http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor

Yes. I simply want a way to do demux, then reassemble the two streams into a single file that I could then directly use DVDAuthor on to make what would then be burned straight to DVD.
