[Fwd: AVerMedia DVD EZMaker PCI Deluxe]
|
|
I purchased this capture card: AVerMedia DVD EZMaker PCI Deluxe.
It has the following MPEG2 encoder: Conexant CX23416-22, and no tuner, it is only for capturing analog video.
I am running Fedora Core 5 in an AMD Athlon PC.
I thought I needed ivtv drivers so I installed them with yum. It asked me also to upgrade my kernel, so I'm running now this kernel version: 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5.
Those are the packages installed:
ivtv-firmware-20070217-13.at
ivtv-0.10.1-126.fc5.at
perl-Video-ivtv-0.13-8.fc5.at
ivtv-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5-0.10.1-126.fc5.at
plus perl-Video-Frequencies and the forementioned new kernel.
When I restart the system, I see those messages as if the driver was loaded and the card somewhat detected:
ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version 0.10.1 (tagged release) loading
ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5 mod_unload 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1
ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between

ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.

ivtv0: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150, card #0
ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ====================
First of all, I see the driver when starting does not recognize the card and it defaults to the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card.
In fact, when I play the VCR and try to capture it with 'cat /dev/video0 /tmp/prueba.mpg', I get a PS MPEG2 file, but which is all black.
I could not assert in the documentation from ivtv that my card is actually supported, but I'm wondering if I could pretend I'm using one of the supported cards and make it work. If so, how to set the right card?
Another question: I see as if the module was embedded in the kernel, it is not loaded as a kernel module (no reference to it on the modprobe.conf file), and I wonder if this is the best way to do it.
Anyway, thanks for your support.
