One of my biggest interests is capturing footage from my analogue camcorder
and converting it to DVD disks. I've been working with this under FC4
without problems, but I'm falling at the first fence under FC6. I need
tvtime, xawtv or similar to act as monitor while capturing with mjpegtools.
My capture card is a DC10+, which uses the zoran driver. Under FC4 the
requirements were
Modules - zr36060, zr36067, adv7175, saa7110, zoran, 12c-algo-bit, 12c-core,
videocodec
Video4linux (v4l) installed and running.
According to yum I have xorg-x11-drv-v4l.i386 installed. I tried modprobe on
each of the module listed, and was told that zoran, 12c-algo-bit and 12c-core
were not found.

Attempting to run tvtime I get this:
tvtime
Running tvtime 1.0.1.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/anne/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
videoinput: Can't get tuner info: Invalid argument
Your capture card driver: zoran [DC10plus[0]/PCI:0000:00:0b.0/2309]
does not support studio-quality colour images required by tvtime.
This is a hardware limitation of some cards including many
low-quality webcams. Please select a different video device to use
with the command line option --device.
Message from the card was: Invalid argument
while the tvtime screen shows
zoran:invalid argument
Cannot open capture device /dev/video0

I then installed xawtv from atrpms, since I have worked with that in the past
and have a config file for it. This is what I saw for xawtv:
xawtv
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6)
WARNING: v4l-conf is compiled without DGA support.

configuration ("v4l-conf -a <addr>")
ioctl:

Invalid argument
no way to get: 384x288 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-)
I am desperate to solve this, but haven't a clue where to look next. Any
ideas, please?
