Hi there,<br><br>OK, I am so close, but I need a little help with firewire, as I can record with test-mpeg2, but for some reason Myth won't accept it. I am set my capture device to 0,0 and have tried sa4200 as well as sa3250hd settings at 200Mbps as well as 400Mbps, using the Peer to Peer setting. When I run mythfrontend, the startup output looks like this:
<br><br>X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169<br> Major opcode: 147<br> Minor opcode: 3<br> Resource id: 0x0<br>Failed to open device<br>X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
