[vdr] begginer question
Hi to all!!! This is my first post to the list, so me name is Mauricio Henriquez and I write you from Chili. I want to develop a vdr backup system, but one requirement os to support USB capture or frame grabber adapters, so I wonder if you can recomend me some USB video capture adapter or USB framegrabber adapter fully suported on linux (if it is multi-channel for multiple video sources is better). in advance thanks you very much...

Also, please pay attention to what is actually being said in previous posts as I didn't call his plugin pointless. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

The reason is that MPlayer needs a track to play (vcd://1 or vcd://2), and VCDs do not always have the main track at the same position. So, e.g. in my mplayer.sh I set the track to play #2 as most VCDs that I own have the main track as #2, but not all of them are like this. Those VCDs fail to play... Earlier versions of MPlayer allowed a URL like vcd://, but this no longer works :( IMO the mplayer plugin should only be used to play video files, not VCDs and not DVDs, as this is nearly impossible to script it right. For this reason I'm very reluctant to support this kind of usage in my mplayer.sh script. Cheers, Juri ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
