I would be willing to bet if you changed this line
# /usr/bin/test_ioctl -f width=720,height=480
And set the width to be 480, that you will get a picture... This sounds
exactly like the issue I am (and have been for a couple of months now)
having. Unfortunately I don't have a solution.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Test Capture Settings with test_ioctl
Hi All;
I am running FC1 with 2x PVR250's.
They both detect fine as you can see.
02:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16
(CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR 250
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9
Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
02:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16
(CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR 250
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
I am stuck in Jerod's instructions as he writes from section:
11. Get and install capture card driver. He goes on to write the
following
commands:
# /usr/bin/test_ioctl -u 0x3000
# /usr/bin/test_ioctl -p 4
# /usr/bin/test_ioctl -f width=720,height=480 # /usr/bin/test_ioctl -v
input=3,output=1
# cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg (ctrl-c to stop capture)
# mplayer /tmp/test_capture.mpg
-------------------------------------
This is what happens:
When playing back the capture.mpg file, the audio is there 100%, but the
video is skewed. I can't make out any picture of what I am watching.
It looks like wavy lines.
Could this mean that the frequency is not setup right? I tried this
with both of the following commands (since I have 2 capture devices)
# cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg # cat /dev/video1 >
/tmp/test_capture.mpg
Both instances offer the same output (in terms of wavy lines).
Any help with this is appreciated -- I'm stuck and can't move on :(
Cory ....
Here is some other outputs in case they're needed (Sorry for the long
post)
