hi,

i have a wintv and it works fine with pdp. but i cannot use it with gem :

starting transfer cap: name BT878(Hauppauge (bt878)) type 235 channels 4 maxw 768 maxh 480 minw 48 minh 32 picture: brightness 32768 depth 0 palette 4 channel 0 name Television type 1 flags 3 channel 1 name Composite1 type 2 flags 2 channel 2 name S-Video type 2 flags 2 channel 3 name Composite3 type 2 flags 2

setting to channel 1 buffer size 8519680, frames 4, offset 0 2129920

wanted format is 0x1908 setting cmcapture to 64x64 5 frame 0 0, format 5, width 64, height 64

GEM: pix_video: Opened video connection C vmmap 8140840 VIDIOCSYNC: Invalid argument

what is displayed ? sometimes (don`t know remember on which machines...) i get this warning too, but it still works. could it be, that there is something wrong with your norm/channel options (PAL is the default). the signal is read from channel1, probably you are using svhs or composite3 ?)

• from /04.video/00.SimpleVideo.pd

also, i did try the ieee1394 (from cvs) with [driver 1> :

pix_videoNEW: starting transfer /dev/ieee1394/dv/host0/NTSC/in: No such file or directory closed

well, i guess you don't have the device /dev/ieee1394/dv/host0/NTSC/in . a) are you using devfs ? (i suggest to do so) b) have you installed the dv1394.so-module ? (modprobe dv1394). the linux/dv-support depends on this driver.
