AFTER you have started playing/recording the stream execute ivtvctl -qX where X is the audio input you are using. This fixes it for me and a number of other mythtv users. Some have even set up a cron script to execute that command every 10 seconds. To get as close as possible to a DVD compatible stream use ivtvctl -c stream_type=X where X is the stream type you want from : /* Stream types */ #define IVTV_STREAM_PS 0 #define IVTV_STREAM_TS 1 #define IVTV_STREAM_MPEG1 2 #define IVTV_STREAM_PES_AV 3 #define IVTV_STREAM_PES_V 5 #define IVTV_STREAM_PES_A 7 #define IVTV_STREAM_DVD 10 #define IVTV_STREAM_VCD 11 #define IVTV_STREAM_SVCD 12 #define IVTV_STREAM_DVD_S1 13 #define IVTV_STREAM_DVD_S2 14 I cannot for the life of me remember whether you want 10,13 or 14. -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
