At the recommendation of the developer of a piece of software called openreplay, I purchased one of these cards: http://tinyurl.com/7kupvw7 from eBay. Some Googling suggests the manufacturer *might* be an outfit called "wave-p". It's detected by the saa7134 module as a card with no EEPROM, so the module loads in generic mode. I get four /dev/video<n> interfaces, but I get no video on any of the interfaces from xawtv, vlc, or mplayer. I also don't see (as I saw from a Hauppauge card I have in the system) any encoders/decoders registered (e.g. " ivtv0: Registered device video4 for encoder MPG"). Should I be able to get video from the card in generic mode? If so, any suggestions on what I should be doing? If not, what "card=n" option should I try? Physically, the card has 4 Trident SAA7134 chips, a chip numbered P17C8140A on the board and 4 BNC-F connectors on the bezel. -- Kit Peters (W0KEH), Engineer II KMOS TV Channel 6 / KTBG 90.9 FM University of Central Missouri http://kmos.org/ | http://ktbg.fm/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
