Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 Problems

[lfields]

I have a KWorld SAA7130-TVPCI, a Pinnavle Systems PCTV, and a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150. I cannot get any of these working in Mageia. I had them working in the last Mandriva. Couldn't get to work in Mageia2, waited for 3 to come hoping it might get better, but still no dice. I think the PVR-150 will be the easiest to get working, I think, but need some ideas. All cards appear to load and run. The pinnacle card runs fluently but the video is very scrambled. The SAA7130 and the PVR-150 both try to run but stall and lag horribly and is very jerky.


Lets look at the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150, unless you think I will have better luck with one of the others.

When I try to play in VLC using /dev/video0

I really need to get this working. We use this to record church services. We have a JVC camera on a tripod. This runs RCA to the composite input on the capture card. Did this previously in Mandriva with the SAA7130-TVPCI card but it wasn't great. Right now I don't have a working solution. Basically I need the linux equivilant of (Ugg) windows movie maker. Capture/Record/Edit/Process. I really don't want to have to run a windows box to do this. We currently have 7 computers in theis church, all run either Mandriva or Magiea. Well one runs (Ugg) bumtu just because it runs OpenSong better.

My end goal is mainly capture the Video/Audio from any capture card that I can get to work with Mageia. Edit the file. Burn to DVD. I really don't care what the process is. Kdenlive looks promising but have had no luck with it. I can dump to file, edit with OpenShot, Burn with K3B. I think you get what I'm trying to do here.

Thanks for your time!

Just tried the Kworld SAA7130 card in the mandriva box. Works also??? Maybe not a card driver issue?

The Pinnacle card uses the em28xx
The Kworld card uses the saa7134

Is there other things that will hose video capture in mageia?

[doktor5000]

All cards appear to load and run.

How did you check?

To save me a long searching, can you please list a short overview of the three cards in 3 lines, the connection method (USB/PCI) behind and if/how you installed a firmware for those, and what each current status is (working/not working)?

Please also post the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep firmware

and

Code: Select all

ls -al /dev/video*

For video capture testing, you could try qv4l2 from the package v4l-utils-qt4, or tvtime, cheese, xawtv, mplayer, ffmpeg ...
Although vlc works here (at least with my webcam, no DVB devices at hand currently) with

Code: Select all

vlc v4l2:///dev/video0
