[mythtv-users] FAQ about LIRC and Video...

[david abbey]

LIRC FAQ:
I have made my own IR serial receiver and have
installed LIRC.  However, when I start LIRC and
IRW/mode2, I get no response when pressing a remote
control button. 
is there a way to deduce whether this is a remote
issue, an LIRC issue, or an IR receiver issue?  Can I
safely deduce that it is not a LIRC issue because IRW
and mode2 get connected?  Does it make a difference on
what remotes are being used; doe the IR/LIRC grab the
button press regardless?

VIDEO FAQ:
I have ripped a couple of my DVD's to play on my
mythbox.  One of them plays fine and the other is
choppy.  The only difference that I can see is that
one VOB was 8Gb and the other only 4Gb. Does Gt
rendering Vs OpenGl rendering matter while watching
vids? Any info will be appreciated.
