Ok, now that things have calmed down from the holidays and stuff I have been able to get back to my MythTV project. <br>Before it got side tracked I found that while MythTV worked it was doing something strange in the way of not recording the whole time alloted. I found that when recording that I was only getting aobut 20 min for a 30 min show. At the time I tohught it was a problem with MythTV. Sence then I tried<br> cat /dev/video0 > 10min.mpg <br>for 10 min (yes I used a timmer) and when I went to view it with VLC on my Powerbook (OSX) it was only 7 min 18 sec long. That scales up to the same 20 min for a 30 min show. Given this it seems I have the card configured incorrectaly. Are there some settings I need to set to get it to properly decode the RCA input lines from my satalite reciver? There does appear to be a few droped frames in the message history of VLC but I do not know if this applies to this problem or not. Below is log from the VLC program in the hopes that it points to a reason for the problem as there are a lot of warnings in there.<br><br>main debug: CPU has capabilities AltiVec FPU <br>main debug: looking for memcpy module: 2 candidates<br>main debug: using memcpy module "memcpyaltivec"<br>main debug: waiting for thread completion<br>main debug: thread 33658368 (playlist) created at priority -47 (playlist/playlist.c:184)<br>main debug: waiting for thread completion<br>main debug: thread 33580544 (preparser) created at priority -47 (playlist/playlist.c:210)<br>main debug: looking for interface module: 1 candidate<br>main debug: using interface module "hotkeys"<br>main debug: thread 34542080 (interface) created at priority -47 (interface/interface.c:198)<br>main debug: looking for interface module: 3 candidates<br>main debug: using interface module "macosx"<br>main debug: thread 33667584 (manage) created at priority -47 (interface/interface.c:164)<br>main debug: adding playlist item `10min.mpg' ( /Users/thymus/Desktop/10min.mpg )<br>main debug: creating new input thread<br>main debug: waiting for thread completion<br>main debug: thread 34849792 (input) created at priority 37 (input/input.c:261)<br>main debug: creating statistics handler<br>main debug: `/Users/thymus/Desktop/10min.mpg' gives access `' demux `' path `/Users/thymus/Desktop/10min.mpg'<br>main debug: creating demux: access='' demux='' path='/Users/thymus/Desktop/10min.mpg'<br>main debug: looking for access_demux module: 1 candidate<br>macosx debug: input has changed, refreshing interface<br>main debug: creating access '' path='/Users/thymus/Desktop/10min.mpg'<br>main debug: looking for access2 module: 7 candidates<br>vcd debug: trying .cue file: /Users/thymus/Desktop/10min.cue<br>access_file debug: opening file `/Users/thymus/Desktop/10min.mpg'<br>main debug: using access2 module "access_file"<br>main debug: pre-buffering...<br>main debug: received first data for our buffer<br>main debug: pre-buffering done 1408981 bytes in 0s -
