Dear all, I really tried hart, but could not find a good solution in Linux to record TV/videos from my BT878 TV Card. The main issue is, which codec and record tool to use. So far my studies had following results: Record Tools: - broadcast 2000 - ffmpeg - dvr (does not compile propperly under suse 7.3: format.h missing - Anybody any hints ?) - mjpeg tools - use lavrec to record. But there is no clear documentation, whether bttv based TV cards are already supported. Codecs: - Divx 4/5 - MPEG 2 - MJPEG Some of my questions are: - Does anybody have found good solution to record directly to MPEG2 or Divx ? If so, which software does the job ? - Has anybody experience with the mjpeg tools, and whether they can be used with bt878 TV Cards? - is there a tool, which can be used to record directly into divx, or is divx kept in a Quicktime wrapper? - Can broadcast 2000 record in divx somehow ? Any hints or comments and ideas are appreciated. Thanks a lot for your help, best regards Christian Kuecherer

Hi people, I'm doing that kind of things using avicap (avifile package, comes with latest SuSEs). It does the job wonderfully, can choose which codec with what attributes to take, and the captured file can be later edited with avirecompress (like making also the sound mp3 instead of PCM, or cut some parts). It reads also the xawtv channel setup, so you can switch to the one you want. And it's portable in sense that it plays both under linux with aviplay and mplayer, and windows "The playa" and media player... Check it out, is a great piece of software. Just one "but" - you need to have a fast CPU to compress to DivX realtime with acceptable quality (I think that's independent on what you use for recording anyway, right? :) Cheers Eduard --- Christian Kuecherer <Christian.Kuecherer@ccrle.nec.de> wrote:

Hi Alain, Did you check if you can actually play other divx files correctly? I've noticed that some sound card drivers (namely Soundblaster AWE 64 - es1370) produce a delay in sound when playing back divx movies, while the movie is perfectly sinchronized (checked on other machines). If that's not the case, give a try to avicap, it's really nice... Good luck Eduard --- Alain Barth�lemy <bartydeux@gminformatique.com> wrote:

Hi Alain, thanks also for the hint. The vcr tool I will try again: with my last installed system I had some trouble -> some packets were missing and I could not compile vcr. I have heared about the desync problem, but I'm sorry that I can't remember where it was. best regards Christian Alain Barthélemy wrote:

Dear Eduard, thank you for this hint. I tried the application yesterday and it looked good. Unfortuantely there is a 'but' :-( The win32 dlls are missing (of course!) and I don't know, where to get them from. I installed the Linux version of DivX5 but it sees to be independent from the avi lib. (Sorry my knowledge about the multimedia architecture in linux is rather bad...) Can you tell me, where I could get the DLLs from ? And which one must be in the ~/win32 directory ? Furthermore, I searched, whether it is possible to start avicap through a command line with recording options, but could not find that it was possible. This would be necessary to record time controlled, not just ripping old vhs tapes (which I also have to do... ) Did you managed to do that ? If its not possible, the best alternative seems to be the way it was proposed in the article Graham pointed to. Or vcr with drawback of desync. Thanks again, also to all other people gave me some hints. I will keep you informed... best regards Christian Eduard Avetisyan wrote:

Dear Adam,
thanks for the hint, I will check it out asap. Is it possible to edit the recorded content, lets say in Broadcast 2000 ? (remove advertisments, etc...)
Thanks Christian

Dear all,
I really tried hart, but could not find a good solution in
Linux to
record TV/videos from my BT878 TV Card. The main issue is,
which codec
and record tool to use.
So far my studies had following results: Record Tools: - broadcast 2000 - ffmpeg - dvr (does not compile propperly under suse 7.3: format.h
missing -
Anybody any hints ?) - mjpeg tools - use lavrec to record. But there is no clear
documentation, whether bttv based TV cards are already
supported.
Codecs: - Divx 4/5 - MPEG 2 - MJPEG
Some of my questions are: - Does anybody have found good solution to record directly
to MPEG2 or
Divx ? If so, which software does the job ? - Has anybody experience with the mjpeg tools, and whether
they can be
used with bt878 TV Cards? - is there a tool, which can be used to record directly into
divx, or is
divx kept in a Quicktime wrapper? - Can broadcast 2000 record in divx somehow ?
Any hints or comments and ideas are appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your help,
best regards Christian Kuecherer

Hello,
Check out this, it's neither divx nor mpeg2... It's Mpeg4 in
a not so
portable implementation (regarding playback in other
mediaplayers)
though it performs super when it comes to rcording tv-shows
etc. for
later viewing.
