Audio goes through the sound card, so if your sound card isn't isn't working, then you'll get video but not sound. ; Sun, 13 Aug 2000 18:41:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from carl@brain.stagecraft.cx) Received: from localhost (carl@localhost) by brain.stagecraft.cx (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA08153; Mon, 14 Aug 2000 11:41:41 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from carl@brain.stagecraft.cx) Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2000 11:41:41 +1000 (EST) From: Carl Makin Reply-To: vk1kcm@spirit.net.au To: Mike Meyer Cc: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: PixelView PlayTV Pak audio problem.

Just for the record, you don't need a sound card to get audio from the TV card. The TV card has a line-out which you can a) plug into speakers directly b) plug into the line-in on a sound card, if you want. Option b) means you can mix the audio, control the volume easily etc etc. The problem is that all TV cards from Hauppauge, AverMedia to AIMs and PixelView implement their internal audio hardware differently. And this is what we need to fix. In this case my borrowing values from the linux driver. (otherwise we need to look through some setup files in your windows drivers) Carl, can you tell me if you have a PixelView Play TV or a Play TV Pro.

If you tell me where to grab the values from in windows I can also do that. > Carl, can you tell me if you have a PixelView Play TV or a Play TV Pro. I think its a Play TV (not a pro) the box just says PixelView PlayTV Pak. It has an FM tuner, remote control (also not working in fxtv) and a digital camera. The digital camera can't be selected in fxtv either. :) Carl.

I've used it. It's an OO scene graph generator.

Check out the GATOS project . That runs on FreeBSD, and supports some of the ATI boards with on-board MPEG/MJPEG. I'm not sure if it's got support for the MPEG/MJPEG hardware. ; Sat, 19 Aug 2000 06:42:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: by dqc.org (Postfix, from userid 1005) id C53CEBBA1; Sat, 19 Aug 2000 06:42:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by dqc.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BA68FACD4; Sat, 19 Aug 2000 06:42:20 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 06:42:20 -0700 (PDT) From: just matt To: Mike Meyer Cc: Charles Henrich , freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Video Capture In-Reply-To: <14749.44638.762175.805304@guru.mired.org> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Don't believe the hype about the ati boards having MPEG/MJPEG hardware compression. As far as I've seen, they don't have what they advertise. I purchased an ATI TV-Wonder a few months ago because it advertised hardware realtime 30fps vcd compatible mpeg compression, all done exclusively in hardware, which I confirmed by e-mailing their tech support people to make sure it was true. Turns out it's a huge lie, the "realtime" mpeg compression is all done in software, with generally crappy results when you compare the mpeg's it produces to those of a real hardware encoder. You need a pII-300 or better just to start playing with it, which made me pretty angry. And no, there aren't any chips on the card to indicate that it will support hardware mpeg capture in the future. In fact, the card is almost exactly like my hauppauge, and composite video in worked with fxtv right out of the box. I imagine it would be fairly trivial to add support for this bt848 based frame grabber. As far as the ATI All-In-Wonders go (which is what the GATOS project is all about if I remember right), I have a friend who has one of those, and there isn't any magic hardware compression on that card either. Instead, ATI provides software that allows people to record video in their own ATI VCR codec or something silly like that. It's proprietary, but I guess it's supposed to compress video better than the traditional .avi format (and I'm not talking mpeg-4 based .avi's) that has been traditionally used with framegrabber software. Hmm, well, that's my rant against ATI. If you want a real mpeg capture board, they will run you at least $400 or so. I ended up getting a low end mpeg capture board and just piecing together an older pc for windows as the board isn't supported under bsd.
