} Checking http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5443 seems to support your

did you include the option ton configure for mythtv of:

--dvb-path=/usr/local/src/hdpvr/linux/include

or whereever you put the files on your machine for the v4l stuff.

though this was a while ago when I built from svn for my hdpvr. things
may have changed.

I've been running an HD-PVR since the middle of August and I love it.
On my Core2Duo Fedora 9 system, I had to get the faad2, faad2-devel,
faad2-libs from livna repository or else I couldn't get AAC decoding
working.

I also use these options on my configure script
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir-name=lib64 --enable-proc-opt
--enable-libfaad --enable-opengl-video --enable-opengl-vsync

notice the faad - D for decoding.
faac is for ENcoding - ie: ripping audio CDs to play on an ipod

I am still curious as to why you guys are going with AAC audio. AC3
is much nicer. Or, do you not have surround sound systems?

I was using my HD-PVR well before AC3 support came out, so I have many
recordings that still have AAC in them.

> HI Richard,

What linux distribution are you using? I just looked at livna.org and they
seem to only have packages for Fedora. I'm not sure if I should try and use
those with ubuntu 8.10 or not.

Thanks for rxplaining the difference between faac & faad. It was not self
explainitory what the difference was.
