Hello all. I apologize if this subject has been beaten to death before, but I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for in the archives.
I recently got a miroVIDEO DC30plus to replace my low quality bt878 card and so far it doesn't work in Linux (unlike the available onlinen resources would have me believe). The best I've gotten is a very small, ugly looking 1/4 scale window in XawTV using overlay (trying to resize it really messes it up). In case it matters (like you may be shocked that I have a motherboard with the un-holy VIA chips on them) the card works great in Windows (no skipped frames while recording full size/full frame rate video and audio while displaying full size overlay preview and doing other tasks). Is the whole VIA chipset thing a problem with the Zoran based cards or is it just a problem with Linux? I ask this for the reason that the card does work great in Windows. Also, is there a reason the Linux driver is limited to 640x480 for NTSC video captures (assuming I can ever get it to capture something)? The Windows capture utility that comes with the card can do 704x480. Here's some information that may be helpful. Thank you very much for any help that you can give. - Peter Federighi Motherboard Asus A7V-133 RAM 512MB (set to "mem=496M" on loadlin command line) Linux 2.6.18 GCC 3.4.6 mjpegtools 1.8.0 Dmesg output of "modprobe zr36067 v4l_bufsize=512 card=4 v4l_nbufs=32 debug=2" -------- Linux video capture interface: v2.00 Linux video codec intermediate layer: v0.2 Zoran MJPEG board driver version 0.9.5 PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:0a.0 (0000 -> 0002) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 MJPEG[0]: Zoran ZR36057 (rev 1) irq: 10, memory: 0xd6800000.
