Do you have a windows box you could try the card in? It seems to me like you're not getting a signal, so testing to see if it's a hardware problem probably makes sense. On 7/8/05, Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > when i do > > ivtv-radio -f 93.1 -j -g > > "/dev/video24" has an obnoxious hum,

Two things: 1. are you decoding an mpeg2 with the card before you try and use Xv? 2. are you putting the Option "XVideo" "On" line in the device section of your xorg.conf? If those aren't your problems, post your log file after trying to play something and the output of xvinfo maybe. On 7/10/05,

Re: [ivtv-devel] Can the hardware encoder work with other files?

2005-07-10 Thread Adam Forsyth
I don't think the mpeg2 the encoder produces can get directly burned to dvd. The audio is in the wrong format I believe... I'd assume that whatever it's encoding would have to be in the exact raw format the card gets from the tuner, so that's not very useful anyways. On 7/10/05, Nick Rout <[EMAIL

[ivtv-devel] Can the hardware encoder work with other files?

Silly question perhaps, but can the hardware mpeg-2 encoder in the Hauppauge PVR cards (specifically PVR-150) be used to help encode a video file to mpeg2? i have a whole lot of stuff I want to convert tompeg2 and then put onto dvd, Or is it restricted to encoding what comes out of the tuner/compo
