Hello, in December 2009, I bought an USB Stick as Video-Grabber in order to convert my old VCR video tapes to digital files. The "Grabber" means that this is only converting analog video and audio signals to digital streams - without any TV or Radio receiver. After installing the actual v4l-dvb tree the device is known from the kernel and modules are installed as reported below. The Problem is that no Video aplications is working with the unit. I have testet MoTV, Kaffeine/Xine and VLC. With MoTV tool i got the following informations: v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0 dga: version 2.0 WARNING: No DGA direct video mode for this display. mode: 1920x1200, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=7680, base=unknown /dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support The device was sold from the "Lidl" discounter in Germany for 27.99 E UR I successfully instaled the Drivers acording to http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Em28xx_devices The only differnce was the "make install" needs to be done as root or with sudo. No error messages ocured during the compilation and installation. ----------------------------- Package Informations ------------------ Item: USB-Video-Grabber EAN: 4250133701701 SN: L7088988 Trade Mark: SILVER CREST (or SilverCrest) Trade Mark Owner: Lidl Stiftung & Co.
