According to: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134, the Terratec Cinergy 400 TV should be card=8. Have you tried: restart, "modprobe -r saa7134", "modprobe saa7134 card=8", "dmesg | grep saa7134", and checked if the Terratec Cinergy 400 TV showed up correctly? If right, it should be Ok: > > ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg > ffmpeg -t 30 -f video4linux2 -s vga -r 30 -b 2000k -i /dev/video0 out-vga-2M-30sec.mpg > ffmpeg -t 60 -f video4linux2 -s vga -r 30 -b 2000k -i /dev/video0 out-vga-2M-60sec.avi > ..., etc. Thanks a lot for your help. The card is loaded OK. I tried it with the card=8 parameter in a newly created file /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134.conf. It seems to be loaded properly: dmesg | grep saa7134 [ 24.978050] saa7134[0]: found at 0000:04:01.0, rev: 1, irq: 17, latency: 32, mmio: 0xfe500000 [ 24.978058] saa7134[0]: subsystem: 153b:1142, board: Terratec Cinergy 400 TV [card=8,insmod option] [ 24.978073] saa7134[0]: board init: gpio is 50000 [ 25.053979] input: saa7134 IR (Terratec Cinergy 40 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:03:00.0/0000:04:01.0/rc/rc0/input6 [ 25.054018] rc0: saa7134 IR (Terratec Cinergy 40 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:03:00.0/0000:04:01.0/rc/rc0 [ 25.187509] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 00: 3b 15 42 11 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187517] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 10: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187523] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 20: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187529] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187535] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 40: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187541] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 50: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187547] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 60: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187553] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187559] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 80: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187566] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 90: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187571] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom a0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187577] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom b0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187583] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom c0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187589] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom d0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187595] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom e0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.187601] saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom f0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 25.716134] saa7134[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] [ 25.716157] saa7134[0]: registered device vbi0 [ 25.998624] saa7134 ALSA driver for DMA sound loaded [ 25.998650] saa7134[0]/alsa: saa7134[0] at 0xfe500000 irq 17 registered as card -1 ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 test.mpg gives still the error mentioned in the subject, ffmpeg -t 30 -f video4linux2 -s vga -r 30 -b 2000k -i /dev/video0 out-vga-2M-30sec.mpg gives an I/O error while setting the framerate ffmpeg version 0.10.4 Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developers built on Jun 13 2012 09:51:06 with gcc 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) configuration: --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --datadir=/usr/share/ffmpeg --incdir=/usr/include/ffmpeg --libdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/share/man --arch=x86_64 --extra-cflags='-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' --enable-bzlib --disable-crystalhd --enable-gnutls --enable-libass --enable-libcdio --enable-libcelt --enable-libdc1394 --disable-indev=jack --enable-libfreetype --enable-libgsm --enable-libmp3lame --enable-openal --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libpulse --enable-librtmp --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libv4l2 --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab --enable-avfilter --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --disable-static --enable-shared --enable-gpl --disable-debug --disable-stripping --shlibdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-runtime-cpudetect libavutil 51. 35.100 / 51. 35.100 libavcodec 53. 61.100 / 53. 61.100 libavformat 53. 32.100 / 53. 32.100 libavdevice 53. 4.100 / 53. 4.100 libavfilter 2. 61.100 / 2. 61.100 libswscale 2. 1.100 / 2. 1.100 libswresample 0. 6.100 / 0. 6.100 libpostproc 52. 0.100 / 52. 0.100 Please use -b:a or -b:v, -b is ambiguous [video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x9bd440] ioctl set time per frame(1/30) failed /dev/video0: Input/output error While we have PAL here I tried ffmpeg -t 30 -f video4linux2 -s vga -r 25 -b 2000k -i /dev/video0 out-vga-2M-30sec.mpg Regards -- Felix -- 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
