[linux-dvb] Problems getting Pinnacle PCTV Sat to lock (Take 2)

2004-03-01 Thread Bob Dunlop
Hi, Well I've managed to progress my struggle with the Pinnacle PCTV Sat card a little further. Hopefully this will jog a memory somewhere and some kind soul will be able to tell me where I went wrong. I'm now using the latest CVS sources with a 2.4.25 kernel. If I load the bttv module with

I'm not sure this is pulldown, because it seems random to change framerate, and in some cases minutes between when it changes from 24fps. I have also seen 23.78 and 25 fps, as well as 26.4 on occasion. I can't explain 23.78 and 26.4 fps as I don't think they are ever used for 'normal'

[linux-dvb] Subtitle synchronisation when converting to DVD

2004-03-01 Thread Dave Chapman
Hi, I'm working on programs to extract teletext subtitles and DVB subtitles from transport streams (and VDR streams) in order to convert them to DVDs. This is basically working (see http://www.linuxstb.org/dvbtextsubs/ for the teletext subtitles version), but I have a problem with

2004-03-01 Thread Chris Chatfield
I've written a program that converts a dvb ts to a dvd-ready mpg stream. The way I've arranged the PTSs in each GOP is that the audio is always aligned to the video (well as close as will allow: +/- 12ms). I would arrange subtitles in a similar way - assume the video pts is the baseline, and add

(b) the LNB is broken (high LNB drift) Well, I'm not an experienced LNB guy, but IMHO what you call broken is just normal behaviour. Low price - high drift. And it also depends on how large the temperature variations are. For me, 'broken' is a drift which is larger than the AFC

[linux-dvb] Question about inversion and DVB-S

Hi, I've just encountered something very weird about frequency inversion. With my new stv0299 code, I'm able to get a much better signal for lots of channels. Except one. 11747000 on hotbird (EDTV Dubai etc). This is with inversion turned OFF BTW. With the new code I'm not able to lock on

Hi, I have found a bug in the software demultiplexer of the DVB driver. The input buffer is passed by reference to the dvb_dmx_swfilter_section_feed function. This function clears a part of the buffer, with the statement : memset(buf, 0, DVB_DEMUX_MASK_MAX); regardless of the size of the
