What kind of capture card?
Quoting tech at gnuconsulting.com:
> I have jiggered it so that my machine doesn't lock up while recording
> shows anymore (retrograding the kernel to 2.4.24 seems to have done the
> trick, as that changes the drivers for video, audio, bttv, and the
> kernel all at once). Now, the problem is that when 'watching' live tv
> (that's a joke, as it's unusable on my machine), I get both audio and
> video. And, when a scheduled recording goes off, I can hear the audio
> through my speakers (which is annoying, but not life threatening). But,
> when I go to watch a recorded show, I get nothing but silence. I wanted

> Neither does xine, for that matter. I tried transcoding the file to mp4

> it finished the only file in my mythvids directory was the .nuv, still
> unrecognized by mplayer.
