Hi Tadaaki and Alejandro, Tadaaki Nagao: |> You know, there is something very weird, I can encode video/audio with |> the old utilities (mpeg_encode, mpeg_musicin), but when it cames to |> encode video/audio with the new ffmpeg support, the system reboots in |> about 5 secons after hitting the Record button, and leaves me without |> any data in the logs to figure this out. | |Sorry for jumping in, but I've been experiencing similar symptoms when |trying "FFMPEG" and "FFMPEG Ready". | |In my case, the kernel dumps core almost immediately after I hit the |"Record" button for "FFMPEG" and run <filename>.sh for "FFMPEG Ready". |The versions of software I'm using are: | FreeBSD RELENG_4 branch as of 06/14/2002 | XFree86-Server-4.2.0_3 | XFree86-libraries-4.2.0_1 | fxtv-1.04beta | ffmpeg-0.4.5_1 | |I'd be more than happy to give details about my configuration, try any |patches, and whatever needed to investigate the cause of the problem. Interesting. Thanks for the info. Based on what Alejandro has said, I think we can rule out the bktr driver and transfer from the TV card. Sounds like the issue is with ffmpeg and/or how fxtv is passing the audio and video data to it. I don't know what all ffmpeg is doing internally and haven't picked through the details of Bruno's ffmpeg fxtv patch, but I do know it uses two pipe's (see pipe(2)), one for audio, one for video, to shovel data to from fxtv's raw capture decoder process to ffmpeg's process, using the buffer utility. Say that's a thought, do you have the buffer port installed? I have buffer-1.17.1 installed here. Another thought -- I'm running ffmpeg-0.4.5 installed as does Bruno. You and Alejandro have 0.4.5_1. Possibly related... As far as the other the other software you mentioned, I suspect only the FreeBSD version is relevent. However, I'm on a year-old 4.3-stable, and it works. So unless something's been broken (e.g. in the pipe code), that's probably not it. Tadaaki and Alejandro, please let me know what you find regarding the buffer utility.
