Hi, <br>
I hope someone can help me. I have wasted lot of time on this. After
all the effort, mythtv is still not showing the video.<br>
I am using knoppmyth (latest one using kernel 2.6.18-chw-13 )<br>
I can play video using xine like this:
<br>
<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">cat /dev/video0
> /tmp/video.mpg & </span><br
style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">xine
/tmp/video.mpg
</span><br style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">
Here is what I get in mythbackend log (/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend
<div id="mb_0"><wbr>.log)<br>

</span>here how dmesg looks like:<span

What
I don't don't understand is that why I do not see MPEG Encoder in
transcoders list despite this card having built in hardware encoder?
<br>
</span>Here is the output of file command:<br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"># file /tmp/video.mpg</span><br

<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">/tmp/video.mpg: MPEG

Please Please Please bail me out!<br>
