[mythtv] Re: Problems with WinTV go card..

[Geoffrey Cross]

In response to my own question, I just noticed a .nuv file in my live-tv
buffer directory, which seems to suggest that the capturing is working
in some manner: is there any way of extracting some frames from this
file without using the mythtv viewer?  That way I can see if the
blue-screen is created by the TV-card or the graphics card.

Thanks again!  I promise I'll pay my dues in code once I get this thing
working... :)

Geoff.
