Hello,
I am trying to capture video/stills from my ati 7500 aiw capture card. Currently, the video and audio both work quite well with xawtv but I ran into problems when I discovered that one couldn't capture from Xvideo devices, which is what my card shows up as. Is there some way to make my card show up as a v4l device or some way to work around this problem? I hoped that since it is being displayed on my screen, somehow I could record the video.
Thanks,
Ben.
OpenSUSE 11.0
(info from ~>man xawtv)
Code:
SUPPORTED HARDWARE / INTERFACES
v4l video4linux - the linux video capture API.
v4l2 video4linux two - new, improved capture interface which fixes a
number of v4l design bugs.
bktr FreeBSD / OpenBSD driver for bt848/878 grabber cards.
Xvideo X11 Extension for video devices. Note that the Xvideo extension
does support overlay only, you can't capture images/movies if
the Xvideo extension is used. On the other hand this is the
only way to scaled video overlay (i.e. fullscreen without black
borders @ 1024x748) if both hardware and xfree86 driver support
it. See README.xfree4 for more details and hints on how to
setup Xvideo.
