<div><div class="h5">I have home movies that I'd like to import onto my Ubuntu 10.04 box. I have a PVR-350 and PVR-250. I was using a VLC script I cobbled together:<br>
<br>v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/video0 --set-input=1<br>vlc pvr:///dev/video0 ---sout-deinterlace-mode=Linear --sout '#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="/storage/test/homevid.mpg"},dst=display}'<br><br>
This will bring up VLC so I can see how the video is doing and also outputs the file to homevid.mpg. </div></div><br></blockquote></div><a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/232857?search_string=change%20capture%20resolution;#232857" target="_blank">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/232857?search_string=change%20capture%20resolution;#232857</a><br>

I'm curious why dd would give me a better format than VLC. I mean, I'll try it when I get home, but from what I read, the PVR-x50 series outputs stream errors regardless of source and that Myth does some craziness to bring it back into sync (or just ignores the errors). Am I correct in saying that? And by that post, I'm really not wanting to integrate this with Myth in any way. Thanks!<br>
