What errors?  As long as you have 'Hardware MPEG Encoder' selected as the 
cardtype in the 2nd section of setup, it should just work.  Basically, it 
ignores most of the recording profile stuff.  The only setting that's used is 
width/height of the capture, as that's pretty much the only modifiable 
setting of the ivtv driver as yet.  I'm eventually going to add codec setup 
stuff for it in the setup->recording section, but there's little reason to 
for now.
