There seems to be lots of discussion about Via vs. Intel vs. SIS, but no
one mentions AMD. Has anyone tried/gotten any of the Zoran cards to work
with an AMD chipset board? Specifically, I
Bernhard Praschinger (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) has a Tyan 2466-4M

mjpeg capture cards plus two sound cards. The last I heard it
was working very well.
Then I wonder if it's just that the Buz is flaky (which
I've made progress with this enough that I can capture a few minutes of
video with Lavrec. I'm still dropping frames all over and it dies after
a few minutes, but I remember seeing a whole bunch of stuff about this
in the archives, so I will go look there.
Thanks for the help, folks
Hallo
I was offline for about one day.
It's okay. I appreciate the response.
The AMD chipset was not known to have any issues until now.
Usually the AMD chipsets work quite reliabel.
I've discovered 2 issues with the 760MPX
1.) Depending on how nice your devices play on the 64bit/66MHz PC
No, I didn't. No one told me to :-) However, the same thing happens. At
-d 4, lavrec only drops approx 500 frames/sec (as opposed to the 1000 it
was doing before) and at -d 2 it does exactly what it did before.

Well, I guess the card cannot keep up then. CVS has some PCI
optimizations for the Buz, as does 0.9.4. If it doesn't work with them,
it unfortunately won't work at all, I'm affraid.
Fair enough.
Face it: the Buz is picky. :-(.
Which is why it was discontinued, from what I gather.
I don't know how
My MPX board only has a 10/100 3Com 905C Ethernet Adapter. And I use the
64Bit version of the Adaptec SCIS Controller. I have not noticed any
problems because of that (or at least I think so)
The 10/100 controller is slaved to the 32bit/33Mhz bus. So, you only
have one thing on the 64/66, which,
For some strange reason the on my TYAN MPX Baord the SB-Life always has
own interrupt. While the BUZ always shares it's interrupt with the 3Com
905 and es1371 devices.
I've found that it depends on the slot you put it in. Counting from top
PCI slot, I've got the Buz in slot 3 (first 32/33 slot),
64Bit PCI devices are hard to find. I don't have a other device. I can't
test it, sorry.
Oh, I'm not asking you to test anything like that - I was just telling
you for future reference. We've already done that at work.
I've taken a look at that datasheet. I guess you reffer to the topic:
Southbri
mjpeg_play is what I checked out and seems to work.
Also, if you're using the zoran driver, you need the ZORAN_VIDEODEV_2
branch of driver-zoran.

I will try it in another slot.
I tried it in all other slots, with varying degrees of success.

Tried it; no difference.

Then, insmod zoran.o gives:
zoran.o: unresolved symbol videocodec_attach
zoran.o: unresolved symbol videocodec_detach
It seems like the videocodec module is not being loaded. Do modprobe
zoran. It will automagically load dependant modules.

My first question is just whether there are any strong reasons to get
AMD vs. Intel CPUs?
Yes. AMD gives you more bang for your buck.
I'll probably be getting a dual-CPU system if
that has a bearing on this question.
This is an even better reason to get an AMD system.
caveat: This was true for a
Thanks. That's what I'd heard in the past (which is why my desktop
system is a Dual 2000+ system, but I wasn't sure whether this was

I'd say that it is still considered to be true.

a waste of effort to do a RAID-0. Would a Raid-3, or Raid-1 setup
be beneficial?
Assuming real hardware control, a RAID-1 won't impose additional load,
but (aside from the improved performance of a higher quality caching

Ah, ok - I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure (it
doesn't make a lot of sense to do RAID-5 for video capture that
I can see ;)).

- space (ditto for simple striping)
- redundancy - Sure, you might not need it for video capture, but
there's
For _that_ I just burn the iso/udf image out to a DVD+RW ;)
But then you have to re-rip it. Boooring. :-)
Do I NEED seven computers? Heck no. But, I still have them. :-)
Nor do I (well, a couple of 'em are PDP-11s so video encoding
is, uh, just slightly out of the question :)).
