Hey, I've been trying to get bttv to work on my Linux box, without any success.
Whenever I start it, I get some snow and after a few seconds my computer locks. Furthermore, the lines that *are* displayed are only the first few lines, and it appears that the program is receiving SCERR (from the booktree chip), or some synchronisation problems that it can't handle? I've even installed kernel 2.1.92 with video4linux in the kernel, but with the same results. It always gets this error and hangs. Since I'm no expert in video code, and I know others have experienced problems in this area, I was wondering if anyone could share their experience? Is this related to the method being used, by the capture program (i.e. scanning directly into the video memory at the windows location, instead of into user memory and then have X do it) ?. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Orn Einar Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice+fax; +46 035 217194 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
