So, I recompiled the plugin and now I'm getting some action: 11:50:52 Switching to channel 0 on device 4 11:50:52 Switching to channel 0 on device 5 11:50:52 Channel: KOMO, SID=12003, 52.50 MHz (???), NTSC 11:50:52 Video device: /dev/video1 11:50:52 Video source: 0:Television 11:50:52 Encoder must be restarted 11:50:54 Switching to channel 1 on device 5 11:50:54 Switching to channel 1 on device 4 11:50:54 NEW Audio-PID=80, Video-PID=160 11:50:54 runEncoder(Apid=80, Vpid=160) 11:50:54 ffmpeg -f mpeg1video -s 352x288 -ad /dev/dsp:14 -ar 44.1 -vd /dev/video1 -ac 1 -b 2000 -ab 80 -y -hq -re -title analogTV -author analogTV -copyright GPL -comment analogTV -aspect 4:3 -tvstd NTSC /tmp/.analogtv.avi & 11:50:54 nice() failed, 13:Permission denied FFmpeg version CVS, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard configuration: --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --incdir=/usr/include/ffmpeg --enable-mp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-vorbis --enable-theora --enable-faad --enable-faac --enable-libgsm --enable-xvid --enable-x264 --enable-a52 --enable-a52bin --enable-dts --enable-pp --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-gpl --disable-opts --disable-strip libavutil version: 49.0.0 libavcodec version: 51.7.0 libavformat version: 50.3.0 built on Mar 17 2006 10:19:16, gcc: 4.1.0 20060304 (Red Hat 4.1.0-3) ffmpeg: unrecognized option '-hq' 11:50:54 flush_buffer() Can't work out why the '-hq' doesn't work, but modified the sourcefile to remove the option.

Will have to see what I get, when I'm local to the machine again and can see the picture. I still have problems - and a recording doesn't write any data to 001.vdr....but at least the plugin's doing something now.
