Re: [BLUG] Hauppauge PVR-150 s-video capture problems

Are you convinced that the card actually works, and that your connection
is good?

[BLUG] Hauppauge PVR-150 s-video capture problems

Hello,

Running Kubuntu Feisty.

dmesg | grep ivtv - looks good.

[   18.210538] ivtv:  ====================  END INIT IVTV  
====================


With my digital camcorder attached via s-video to the PVR-150 s-video I try

cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg

Try to open it in mplayer and get fuzzy black with colour streaks.

ivtv-tune -d /dev/video0 does not help.

If I try cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg without pressing play on the
camcorder - I get the same display in mplayer as when I press play on the
camcorder.

Any suggestions how I can get s-video to work?

Thank you,

Peter Brown
