[mythtv-users] No Picture

[Mark Edwards]

Hey Peter,

had a recent problem with this myself - coinciding with a change in my
configuration. I was using a simple bt878 tvcard, now I am using the
tuner from this card in conjunction with an old Miro DC10 for hardware
MJPEG encoding.

My problem was that the recording profiles needed to be set up
correctly. I was trying to encode hardware compressed video with RTjpeg
and needed to set these to Hardware MJPEG. Once I did this, I got my
video back...
 
What video hardware are you using?
