This appears it might be hardware or system-configuration related to some extent. If it's a driver issue, it's likely in hardware-specific portions of the driver. I say this because I pulled the latest driver last night and had no problem with it (except for that 2 second tsleep in open() 8^). Never had any problems on any previous version either. It's unlikely its FreeBSD version-related. As I recall, you run 2.2.*. Jeremy's running 2.2.2. Alex is running 3.0-current. I'm running 3.0-971208-SNAP, and used to run 2.2.1. I don't think I've ever seen this no-signal problem on any driver version on either FreeBSD version, but all you guys are seeing it now. Sounds like it might be time to uncomment this printf in the driver: /* printf( " STATUS %x %x %x \n", dstatus, bktr_status, bt848->risc_count ); */ and see what everyone's seeing.

Don't think so, at least not in this case, I'm on a cable network and we've got pretty good quality signals here. I have watched all my TV's close for hints to this effect but they are all OK. I cant get fxtv to snapshot at fullsize, but I've tried to get xv to grap the window :), picturequality sucks this way as it graps several frames, but the undertitles was stable during them all :) I've put the picture on ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/grap.ppm.gz Look at the undertitles (in Swedish btw) and you'll quickly see the problem... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..

I'm not surprised that "snap" and "window occlusion" both produce the same behavior. Both result in switching Fxtv to PCIcapture-to-memory-to-XImage conversion (as opposed to PCIcapture-to-framebuffer). The puzzler is why this behavior involves a core dump. I bet you'll see the same core-dump behavior if you run "fxtv -disableDirectV" to force XImage conversion from the get-go.

I recently bought a Spirit TV/Vidoe Tuner card, and have had some problems with it. Now The people who produce the card had very poor support, but I noticed that the driver is (or is very similar) to the one you provide. BT848 Video capture device. I also noticed there is a lot of downloadable stuff availiable from your site, and I would have just downloaded them, but there for unix, and I want to be able to run this in windows95 as well. My Question is, Do you have anyfiles that may be useful to me such as windows95 drivers, or aplications I may be able to use? and which unix files would I need to get the card to work in unix. Thank you for your time on an out of the way question.

The Bt848 driver is part of the FreeBSD system and populars apps such as fxtv (tv viewer ) and "vic", an mbone broadcast tool, can be easily installed thru our port mechanism which I am more than happy to walk you thru if you run FreeBSD. I wrote the Bt848 driver from scratch by reading the Bt848 databooks and our system interface was modelled after the matrox meteor driver (another FreeBSD video capture driver for Phillips based chipset cards such as the Matrox Meteor). After the initial driver deployment several FreeBSD hackers have volunteer like adding support for tuners, bug fixes, driver enhancements well by know they have literally rewritten the driver however the original architecture is pretty much intact. We *don't* have any software for Win95 nor drivers and I know enough about Win95 and FreeBSD drivers. Good Luck!!

The Bt848 driver has an ioctl to control brightness for the meteor and the bt848 . The Bt848 driver's matrox meteor brightness ioctl has been modified to convert the value from unsigned to signed. Applications such as fxtv will not be affected given that they use the bt848 native ioctl call. The next driver rev will be released in about 2 days.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org We make extensive use of MBONE at work, and I recently switched from using an SGI R5000 Indy to a FreeBSD machine for the MBONE "terminal" in my office. I had them both running side-by-side for a week or for test purposes, and found out that for a given frame rate, the FreeBSD/BT848 combo is using double the bandwidth of the SGI Indy. I also confirmed this by testing the FreeBSD/BT848 system against a Sun Ultra1-170/SunVideo combo. It seems like VIC on the FeeeBSD is not compressing the video stream as efficiently as the SGI or the Sun, and was wondering what the cause could be? Details of the FreeBSD system I am using: Pentium 90 system w/ 180Mhz OverDrive CPU, 96 Mbytes memory (basically an old spare PC we had around) Hauppage Wincast TV FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE MASH 5.0a10 version of VIC (tried the version in 2.2.6-RELEASE as well with no apparent difference) In looking back at some previous correspondance we had regarding the Matrox Meteor vs. BT848, you mentioned "noisy capture". Could this be what I am seeing with my system? I will probably be putting a faster Motherboard in the system, but I really don't think that is the problem. I also have another WinTV card I can try. -- - Mark T.

In my case (PAL) there were the following problems: * vic not using single-field capture (due to some strange interaction with automatic format detection). interlace might cause very noisy input. This could be #1 candidate. * i need(ed) to stop and restart capture to have a decent image, or at the first start i got only half of the video lines * the FPS command might have some bad influence on the capture. If you want to try it, in my vic patches (http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD.html) there is an additional "Threshold" slider to control the threshold above which a block is considered "changed". this way you can get rid of noise for static images (if that is the problem). and finally, remember that the grabber is free running while vic is doing compression, for moving images this might have bad interactions with what vic reads. also what are the conditions of test ? how about lighting, etc ? cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sun Apr 19 22:00:44 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA22972 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Sun, 19 Apr 1998 22:00:44 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from labinfo.iet.unipi.it (labinfo.iet.unipi.it [131.114.9.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id EAA22689; Mon, 20 Apr 1998 04:59:55 GMT (envelope-from luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it) Received: from localhost (luigi@localhost) by labinfo.iet.unipi.it (8.6.5/8.6.5) id FAA13667; Mon, 20 Apr 1998 05:21:06 +0200 From: Luigi Rizzo Message-Id: <199804200321.FAA13667@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> Subject: Re: problem capturing video with BT848/Haughpage Win/Tv To: hasty@rah.star-gate.com (Amancio Hasty) Date: Mon, 20 Apr 1998 05:21:06 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: rhh@ct.picker.com, sos@FreeBSD.ORG, jerry@freeside.fc.net, multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: <199804200444.VAA00554@rah.star-gate.com> from "Amancio Hasty" at Apr 19, 98 09:44:02 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > This is a flaw in the current X server protocol model.

(or it would be a lot of |work to scan through all windows and determine the shape of the visible |area, duplicating the work already done by the server ?) Exactly. There are two design issues that make it impractical from an X app standpoint. First (as you mentioned), there isn't a decent event-driven way to keep an exposed region definition up-to-date with X (polling the X server's complete window list every 10th of a second doesn't qualify :-); it isn't practical and wouldn't work solve it completely anyway). Second, X dispatching to clients is asynchronous so by the time you get the heretofore unknown "here's-your-exposed-region-definition" event, that region definition has already changed, and starting capture with that region definition may stomp an occluded window. Likely a similar issue exists with MSWin as the Hauppauge software forces a refresh of the entire screen just about everytime anything window-event related happens anywhere on the screen, on the off-chance something got stomped by the direct framebuffer writes. As far as purely technical issues for using clipping, back when I worked with Amancio's clipping in Oct 97, there were a few bugs related to the clipping. But these are easily solvable and Amancio may have fixed them since then: Started trying out the bktr clipping half hour ago and noticed a few small bugs. My tests have been very minimal, but so far what I've noticed is that the driver seems to swap X and Y (X and Y defined per display convention and as X does), and the Y coordinates (X, with the swap bug) are doubled when capturing both fields. The latter's probably just a loop stepping typo. For example, with this clip rect: (X 10, Y 50) - ( X 20, Y 100 ) with single field, what gets clipped is: (X 50, Y 10) - ( X 100, Y 20 ) and with double field, it's: (X 50, Y 20) - ( X 100, Y 40 ) Randall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Apr 20 06:34:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA19457 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Mon, 20 Apr 1998 06:34:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from labinfo.iet.unipi.it (labinfo.iet.unipi.it [131.114.9.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id NAA19354; Mon, 20 Apr 1998 13:33:49 GMT (envelope-from luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it) Received: from localhost (luigi@localhost) by labinfo.iet.unipi.it (8.6.5/8.6.5) id NAA14216; Mon, 20 Apr 1998 13:52:14 +0200 From: Luigi Rizzo Message-Id: <199804201152.NAA14216@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> Subject: Re: problem capturing video with BT848/Haughpage Win/Tv To: rhh@ct.picker.com (Randall Hopper) Date: Mon, 20 Apr 1998 13:52:13 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: hasty@rah.star-gate.com, sos@FreeBSD.ORG, jerry@freeside.fc.net, multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: <19980420062633.B9931@ct.picker.com> from "Randall Hopper" at Apr 20, 98 06:26:14 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > Second, X dispatching to clients is asynchronous so by the time you get the > heretofore unknown "here's-your-exposed-region-definition" event, that but i don't understand, the same problem should occur when the whole window is visible and at some point it is obscured by some other window: you still have a race condition, right ?

Vic no longer complains of signal lossage, and I now see video. The problem is, I don't get any audio from Vic. fxtv still gives me audio, but no video :( I see that vic uses METEORSFMT and fxtv uses BT848SFMT to configure the video format. I tried moving the METEOR_FMT_NTSC code into the BT848SFMT case but it was to no avail. I take it there's some other subtle (or not so subtle) differences between the BT848 calls and the METEOR calls.

Me too (its not so much prying the machine apart, its actually getting the box disconnected and moved that is my problem). I did note the obvious chips on the card a while back - a FM1216/I, a Bt848KPF and a MSP3410D PSB4. There is no chip where the manual leads me to believe that the TT decoder would be. Despite that, Teletext works with the W95 software (how to loose a day - install W95 OSR2.5), and the HP software reports the card as being a model 60134 rev CV serial 1021063. The excellent picture quality under W95 revealed that I've still not set up the tuner properly. I wrongly thought that my problems were due to a poor signal. Has anybody in the UK got a HP card working to their satisfaction? If so, I'd be grateful for your tuner definition. -- Adrian Wontroba, Stade Computers Limited. phone: (+44) 121 681 6677 Mail info@accu.org for information about the Association of C and C++ Users or see To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Apr 20 23:21:17 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA06669 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Mon, 20 Apr 1998 23:21:17 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from lunic.luth.se (lunic.luth.se [130.240.19.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA06662 for ; Tue, 21 Apr 1998 06:21:15 GMT (envelope-from d91-han@ludd.luth.se) Received: from ludd.luth.se (hinken.campus.luth.se [130.240.193.157]) by lunic.luth.se (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA28456; Tue, 21 Apr 1998 08:20:54 +0200 (MET DST) Message-ID: <353C3A1D.CF91C4FF@ludd.luth.se> Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 08:18:05 +0200 From: Henrik Andersson Organization: Luleå University X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Alex Nash CC: hasty@rah.star-gate.com, freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG, rhh@ct.picker.com Subject: Re: Bt848: no IRQ References: <199804210019.TAA00507@nash.pr.mcs.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Alex Nash wrote: > > On 19 Apr, Henrik Andersson wrote: > > I get the same error.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 03:05:27 -0700 From: Amancio Hasty Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I tweaked the driver over the weekend to fix a few more problems . One of the problem was that I was incorrectly applying an inverse gamma function to rgb capture -- translation -- the video stream was coming out too dark. This problem came up while trying to capture a yuv stream after the the application had been capturing rgb. The yuv stream was coming out "washed out". In trying to find the difference between the two capture modes , I discovered the difference. This thorny problem paves the for applications such as fxtv to capture yuv for mpeg encoding. The primary advantage for capturing yuv is that the disk thruput requirments are reduced by about 1/3 as well as the size of the video stream. Also, Roger Hardiman managed to crash the system by switching between NTSC and PAL -- he has a board which accepts NTSC or PAL and the problem so far has been isolated to boards which are capable of supporting NTSC and PAL. The temptative fix for this problem is to add a tsleep of 2 seconds in video_open to give the Bt848 enough time to fully initialize . There is perhaps a much quicker solution and I am waiting from Roger if he has managed to solve the problem. The current driver does not address any of the problems that some users are experiencing with the driver not recognizing their tuner. It seems that Bt848 board manufacturers are finding new and novel tuner parts . An easy way to determine if the card is operating well is to feed it a TV signal via one of its video input ports and not to the tuner port since the latter is most cases that a user is having problems is probably not programmed properly. Also you can test the Bt848 with the following command: fxtv -colorbars If color bar is displayed, it means that the Bt848 circuitry is working. Last but not least the problem that some PAL users are having with fxtv core dumping is still unresolved;however, I most say that I have not heard a single NTSC user having the same problem which kind makes me think that is a buffer or shared memory resource limitation . The updated Bt848 driver is at: ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/bt848.tar.gz Cheers, Amancio To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Apr 21 06:35:59 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA08070 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Tue, 21 Apr 1998 06:35:59 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from nash.pr.mcs.net (nash.pr.mcs.net [204.95.47.72]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA07996 for ; Tue, 21 Apr 1998 13:35:49 GMT (envelope-from alex@nash.pr.mcs.net) Received: (from alex@localhost) by nash.pr.mcs.net (8.8.8/8.8.7) id IAA00786; Tue, 21 Apr 1998 08:34:40 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from alex) Message-Id: <199804211334.IAA00786@nash.pr.mcs.net> Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 08:34:40 -0500 (CDT) From: Alex Nash Subject: Re: Bt848: no IRQ To: hasty@rah.star-gate.com cc: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: <199804210356.UAA11240@rah.star-gate.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On 20 Apr, Amancio Hasty wrote: > Vic does not support audio .

I've got video + audio in fxtv running now with the same bktr_intr modifications Luigi made (i.e. ignoring BT848_INT_FBUS/FTRGT/FDSR/PPERR and ((bt848->tdec == 0) && (bktr_status & TDEC_BITS))). Bringing back any one of these conditions prevents me from seeing any video at all. It's still not right though, many horizontal streaks appear throughout the image and a vertical stripe of the image (approx. 1/3 of the screen size) is severely distorted. Changing the fxtv window size increases the overall image distortion dramatically. I assume this means the tuner settings (band-switch values?) aren't quite right. Would you care to give a quick overview on how to determine the tuner settings using tuner.c on your web page? Thanks.

But as a start point, grab the latest driver (if you haven't), uncomment this printf: /* printf( " STATUS %x %x %x \n", dstatus, bktr_status, bt848->risc_count ); */ and this printf: /** printf( "intr status %x %x %x\n", bktr_status, dstatus, bt848->risc_count ); */ in brooktree848.c.

Then reboot the new kernel. Start X, make sure you have an Xterm running grabbing the console "xterm -C". Then fire up fxtv.

Right, this is still an issue. Example: TV window is unoccluded (on top). User pushes the TV window behind another window. Milliseconds later, X tells us this happened, but by this time we've scribbled all over the occluding window with direct video. The occluding window may have already updated itself. Other examples: moving the window around the screen. |How do you solve it ? Well, there isn't a works-always solution without locking the X server in exclusive mode (the way DGA was intended to be used). But this is too limiting. Who wants a TV app where you have to chose between direct video and being able to mess with other clients simultanously. So what Fxtv does is just run in non-exclusive mode and force an expose on the region of the display occupied by the TV window whenever we stop capturing in direct video mode. This forces surrounding windows (the root window, other clients that might have gotten popped on top and stomped, etc.) to update themselves whenever we move the TV window or the TV window changes between on-top and underneath-something. This works pretty well. But it isn't guarenteed to work for everything. If while direct video is on, an X client is grabbing bits off the frame buffer (e.g. snapshotting a window, or doing fast bitblt scrolling, etc.), it can end up propagating this video trash to other areas of the screen or to pixmaps in memory where the forced-expose doesn't clean it up. I haven't seen leftover TV trash anywhere in months. This is more likely to be an issue for folks with slower systems.

Acolleague of mine at work has the specs, but he has run into a block: The BT848 chip can only send 3(?) bytes of data down the I2C bus, and the stereo chip needs 5-6 in places. If one of you fine folk can fix the ioctl() that does the talking to the I2C to allow this, then I'm sure he will be able to fix it...

At any rate a temporary fix has been checked in.

Yes, that's an issue, but more importantly you don't get an event when your window is Partially Occluded and another piece of the then-visable area is occluded. You only get events when window occlusion (who's covering me) changes between: Totally Unoccluded, Partially Occluded, Completely Occluded. Short of polling the window list rapidly, there's no way to stay up-to-date. Then there's the asynchronous nature of X, but I described a bit about that in a msg last night.

In the case of the contributed patch for the Miro card you can literally toss a coin up in the air to decide whether is right or wrong . What we have to do is move towards an interface which allows end users to program the tuners . Like a sysctl interface or a simple configuration program. -- I just haven't had time sit down and think the solution thru. Personally, I like that idea of a sysctl interface. Any takers ?

Our Miro PCTV PAL-tuner card did play sound on fxtv (it does only play it when the channel is very well tuned, it doesn't play static like the olde TV...). We made no changes to the driver.

I don't know if it will work for you without a fair amount of work since I'm not sure how you get at the I2C bus on your systems. An old snapshot is available in my home directory at freefall (world readable) as i2c.tgz. If that piques your interest, or if those without freefall access are interested, I can set it up so you can get the latest but won't have time to test on FreeBSD. I guarantee it will compile. The latest is split up into a separate slave, supports the Philips PCF8584 I2C bus controller chip, and has some minor bug fixes in the slave (which is needed for snooping) support. If any of these boards have the PCF8584 controller on them then that is a candidate (with additional software in my driver) for a bus monitor since you don't have to wildly poll the I2C bus to sample it. Any future bus monitor work I do will use that chip since I now have a few ISA boards with that chip on them for my FreeBSD based development and I'm away from the parallel port hack. If I get time I'll bundle that source up and put it there as i2cnew.tgz. Peter -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Realtime development, Machine control, HD Associates, Inc.

Thanks > again and keep up the good work Well, the card might actually (more or less accurately) emulate some ISA sound card, but DMA will be different (since PCI cards usually use bus-master DMA, while ISA sound cards rely on the mother-boards DMA chip). There is not much hope to get your sound card working without driver changes, but I'd like to see the output of a VERBOSE boot (enter -v at the Boot: prompt) anyway. (The additional values reported for pci0:10 will tell about the mapping of the card's registers into memory or port I/O space.)

I have a little trouble with pcmplay utility. I have used tosha from the ports tree to "rip" audio tracks and it works just fine with my Toshiba drive. Problem is, that I do Ctrl-C while playing those pcm files. If I do that in the early stage of playing (5...7 seconds from beginning) then Crtl-C simply stops playing, but example doing that after 30 seconds hangs machine. Under X machine locks _VERY_ solid, I can't do nothing and your best first aid is hard reset. Under ordinary console I can switch virtual consoles but no more.

I did noticed that your dmesg said that your card is classified as PAL so perhaps you need to try to manually set your driver: >From current's lint: # The 'bktr' device is a PCI video capture board. It also has a TV tuner # on board. To override the tuner detection use # options OVERRIDE_TUNER=x # The current values are found in /usr/src/sys/pci/brooktree848.c Also you can define OVERRIDE_TUNER in driver: #define OVERRIDE_TUNER=x Where is "x" is a number Good Luck, Amancio > > Can you give us a clue as to what is your video format ?

No prob. I found that setting for the PHILIPS_FR1236_NTSC seems to work. Thanks for the hints! I'm not sure what would be the best way to fix the signatures, but to recap, (so the driver can potentially better "auto detect"). My system is a WinCast model 447 The tuner chip appears to be compatible with FR1236MK2 The system claims to not support the FM decoding. The board returns the following from sign.c: signature contents, 0x01 thru 0xff: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 02 00 00 00 i2c device found @ 0xa0 0xc2 eeprom 0 256 returns: EEProm contents, 0x00 thru 0xff: 84 12 00 00 05 40 09 09 08 0a 13 89 ea ad 0d 90 07 00 00 00 00 84 0a 00 01 01 20 77 00 40 ff 6a 08 00 74 02 01 00 03 79 5f 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 84 12 00 00 05 40 09 09 08 0a 13 89 ea ad 0d 90 07 00 00 00 00 84 0a 00 01 01 20 77 00 40 ff 6a 08 00 74 02 01 00 03 79 5f 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
