[BLUG] Update Hauppauge Video Capture

Hello,

I verified the card works (installed windows XP). Played video in VHS and
displayed. Played camcorder cassette (attached s-video and video input
(yellow connector) displays (no sound).

So good enough in windows (to get started).


Using xawtv and the video (video signalling come in tuner 1) test - nothing.
Changing inputs - no good.

For my first foray in linux multimedia I am not doing very well.

Finding the manual for my Panasonic palmcorder Mini DV does not provide any
helpers and I am beginning to wonder if the s-video is any good.

I have an iDV port, a s-video in/out, A/V IN/OUT which goes into the
video/audio video connectors on the vhs.

xawtv -hwscan gives:

This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.20-16-generic)
looking for available devices
port 60-60
type : Xvideo, image scaler
name : SIS 300/315/330 series Video Overlay

port 61-76
type : Xvideo, image scaler
name : SIS 315/330 series Video Blitter

/dev/video0: OK [ -device /dev/video0 ]
type : v4l2
name : Hauppauge WinTV PV
flags: capture tuner

I start up xawtv with the video cassette running (tuner is set to Tuner 1),
play around with the settings - no success. The default (per man)
is /dev/video0 so why no display?

Any helpers - appreciated.
Thank you,
Peter Brown
