[Mjpeg-users] Strange error -- lavrec saying Not ready for capture
Hi: I am a newbie to lavrec so not sure if I am doing anything wrong. I am on Linux version 2.6.9. And have a bt878 capture card: 00:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 02) 00:08.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 02) I tried to use lavrec to record shows and played with different options but it just give me a one line "Not ready" message: lavrec --software-encoding --format=a -in --quality=80 --geometry=720x480+0+0 --audio-bitsize=0 --time=60 ./test.avi ++ WARN: [lavrec] Not ready for capture (state = 0)! Press enter to start recording> Recording time : 0.00.00:00 Lost frames : 000 A/V sync ins/del: 000/000 Audio errors: 000 Am I doing anything wrong? I am not sure why it says something is not ready. What is not ready? thanks for any tips. --Vincent --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Re: [Mjpeg-users] Strange error -- lavrec saying Not ready for capture
Ok, I got more info. And it looks like it is my sound card. But not sure how I should fix it. (FYI, I am using mythtv to record and everything works fine so I know my capture card + sound card can record. I would like to try lavrec since I want a record in mpeg setting).

This almost certainly means that you've hit some limitation that we haven't seen before, since the 'not ready for capture' is basically an internal assertion. Looking at the code, this implies that lavrec_main() most likely failed (the return value isn't being checked in lavrec.c:main()). Can you run with -v2 so we can see all messages and see how far it goes? Cheers, Ronald -- Ronald S.

Re: [Mjpeg-users] Strange error -- lavrec saying Not ready for capture
Hi Bernhard: I have checked and nothing else is running or using up any relevant port (/dev/dsp 0-4 or /dev/audio) Just for testing, I even purposedly played an mp3 music and then ran fuser and it did detect a process taking up /dev/dsp. Any other suggestion? Again the output I am getting is: lavrec --software-encoding -in -q 100 --time=60 -s -Rl -m --audio-volume=-1 -v2 ./test.avi INFO: [lavrec] Recording parameters: INFO: [lavrec] Output format: AVI INFO: [lavrec] Input Source: BT8x8 1st input NTSC INFO: [lavrec] Decimation: 4 INFO: [lavrec] Quality:100 INFO: [lavrec] Recording time: 60 sec INFO: [lavrec] INFO: [lavrec] MJPEG buffer size: 256 KB INFO: [lavrec] # of MJPEG buffers: 64 INFO: [lavrec] Audio parameters: INFO: [lavrec] Audio sample size: 16 bit INFO: [lavrec] Audio sampling rate: 44100 Hz INFO: [lavrec] Audio is STEREO INFO: [lavrec] Audio input recording level: Use mixer setting INFO: [lavrec] Level of correction for Audio/Video synchronization: INFO: [lavrec] Lost frame compensation and frame drop/insert --DEBUG: [lavrec] Maximum size per file will be 1739 MB INFO: [lavrec] Using mmap(2) system call for capture INFO: [lavrec] Auto detecting input and norm ...

You can check that with: fuser /dev/dsp (0-4) Than check which programm uses the dsp and stop it befor starting lavrec. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I did try that. Didn't work either.

I imagine such an error message could be produced if the sound driver doesn't support mmap. /Sam --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I am using mjpegtools 1.6.3 rc1. Will give your suggestion a try. thanks From: "Ronald S.

[..] > My capture card has no TV tuner. If you're not scared of editing source files, simply remove the 'return 0;' on line 2538 of lavtools/liblavrec.c, and it'll work fine. However, the code looks good over there in CVS (i.e. for you, that code should never be reached), so it appears you're using some older version of lavrec. Therefore, instead, you may want to use CVS if you're using some older version (e.g. one of our outdated releases :) ). Ronald -- Ronald S.

Another thing we don't do, I now notice, is setting vau.index = 0;. Can you add that to all instances of VIDIOCGAUDIO and VIDIOCSAUDIO (there should be two code blocks doing something with the audio chip on your card) and see if that improves it? If that doesn't help, then it'd help if you could tell us what driver you use and what insmod options you're using in combination with it.
