[mythtv-users] pvr-250 not recording

[Leonard Penzer]

I have also problems with recording. For recording, one must select a 
method to save the stream (Hardware MJPEG, MPEG-4 and the other one I 
just do not remember). I would prefer to just save the video as it is 
(MPEG2, what comes from /dev/video0 ).

What should one select to archive this?

regards,
Leonard
