I'm using natty. is there any way to get a Pinnacle DVC 101 to capture video from composite source on Ubuntu Natty? it seems that when new releases break functionality they often are never fixed.
I'm also unaware of a simple GUI application to use in order to capture the video. It would need start and stop features.

This problem can occur during capture from an analog capture card if CPU utilization exceeds 95 percent. To avoid this problem, configure virtual memory to be "System managed" by following these steps:
1. Choose Start -> Control Panel.
2. Open the System control panel.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. In the Virtual memory box, click Change.
6. Select System managed size, and click Set.
7. Click OK.

What would be the easiest method to record video from a security camera via a video capture card using a gui?
Does anyone know an Ubuntu 10.10 compatible video capture card that has composite connections for video and audio (yellow, red and white)? It must be external and do its own processing so it doesn't use the computer's own CPU. I intend to capture a live stream and have the Ubuntu PC serve it to other computers. I may use VLC or MythTV. I have looked on various related sites but finding a compatible USB one which does its own decoding is hard to find.

I use Debian squeeze on a P4 2.4MHz machine with 2 GB ram. lspci can detect all 8 chips but could not load the proper module since it could not identify the vendor. I have tried unloading the SAA7134 module and reloading repeatedly all possible cards from 1 to 174 by "modprobe -i SAA7134 card=#,#,#,#,#,#,#,# #-numbers 1 to 174 one a a time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have installed a 9200 Radeon (the card says 9250 on it, but computer reads as 9200) on a AMD Sempron 2500+ 64 bit,Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome 2.30.2, Kernel Linux 2.6.32-26; Samsung VGA 941BW monitor.
A friend told me if I added more RAM (512mb), the card would run properly & the graphics would be stellar.
He also told me the drivers were installed.
When I did this & started the computer, before I got to my login, a box appeared, telling me my graphics were running in "Low Mode", & do I want to configure them. When I said "Yes", it told me to restart. When I did, nothing happened & the video card is still running on "low". I checked the fglrx info, and was told "command not found".
video playback is like I have applied a blueish sepia filter over it. And this is just the playback from totem player or mplayer, and not the playback from ..... (and generally online streaming) - this works just fine. this messy video playback also appears when I use cheese to capture video with my webcam. Note that the preview picture of the video file on nautilus has the natural colours it should have.
at first when I installed the os this particular problem didn't exist, but it came up the time I decided to follow the "comprehensive multimedia guide". So now I have all the pros of following the guide, but this is a major con...
Recently I had to replace my Hauppauge HVR-1600 (it was doing everything I wanted it to do but after a few years burned out) and decided to get the HVR-2250. Before purchasing I checked the forums and noticed that there was quite a bit of support and most everyone managed to get it working so I thought it would be a good idea.
The problem I have now is that, though lspci shows the card as Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors Device 7164 (rev 81); however, when trying to setup mythtv-backend, the card does not show up under the "capture card" section. After a few hours of research, I came across this thread and it seemed to be general consensus that the method worked so I tried it. Still no luck.I ended up formatting, fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 and then installed MythTV and still nothing. Not really sure where to go from here.
I have a video capture card MP-2010 from Commell.What configure and software I am supposed to do in order to let the video play on fedora 11?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm building a Linux system specifically for video capture in prep for yet another video games review site I want to attempt. She is running Debian Sid with Enlightenment as her desktop.This system actually has two different devices that should be able to do the capture from the Wii, PS2, XBox, and other systems that can connect to it. The first is the video card itself, an ATI Rage 128 Pro AGP 4X, which has TV (aka composite) in as well as what I am guessing is S-Video in (not positive on that since the port has significantly more than 4 pins unlike the S-Video ports on my AV switch). The other is an external ATI TV Wonder USB TVWonder, which has coax, composite, and S-Video inputs.
When I installed and ran XAWTV, it crashed with a complaint that there was no video grabber device found. When I did lsusb, I saw that there was no sign of the external USB capture device. lspci showed the video card, but no mention was made of its TV capture feature. However, I am not certain if there was supposed to be any separate entries for that.So anyway, before I start bogging you all down with what may or may not be too much system data, I first need to know, is this an exercise in futility with the hardware I have? Is video capture with Linux even possible with these, or should I start shopping for something else?
Are there any USB video capture devices that work with Linux? Something that will take an input from RCA video and audio jacks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a digital camcorder, an analog camcorder, and a set top dvr.
I want to get video and audio material from them onto my notebook (i.e. I don't have any PCI slots, etc. to plug a video capture card into).
My notebook runs kubuntu karmic Linux with Windows XP (in a VM).
It has USB 2.0, firewire, PCI card, and Express Card interfaces.
I am looking for any reasonable way to do this.
All three devices have composite video out and left and right audio out RCA jacks. The digital camcorder also has USB and firewire ports, but didn't come with any software (and AFAIK the software has long since become unavailable).
Plugging the digital camcorder into my notebook via USB or firewire cables didn't do much of anything in either Windows or Linux.
Awhile ago, I bought the Hauppauge USB-Live 2 video capture device (it's a smart cable that's supposed to convert from the RCA plugs to USB), but had no luck getting it to work in my XP vm and very limited results under Linux - with a lot of help from a fellow lug member.
Under Linux, I tried using polaris.
[url]
At this point, I just want to get the job done any way I can, but since the devices are still in use, it's not a one-shot deal, so I need a solution that will continue to work. I'd prefer it in Linux (where it would also have access to more computing power), but XP would be fine too. If I need a different interface/converter, I will buy one if it's not too expensive.
Soon, I will also have access to my partner's new notebook, but haven't reconfigured it yet. When I do, it will be running kubuntu lucid with Windows 7 in a VM.
I am getting myself set up to create a series of Linux based how to videos, with the first being on building a Debian box for general web use and document creation, etc. on "recycled" hardware, starting at the very beginning, even going so far as to include how to download a netinstall iso and make it into a burnable CD.
So anyway, one very important ability I need for this project decent video capture capability. I need to be able to capture the output of the install into a proper video format, on which I can provide commentary about what is going on on the screen.
I have another Debian box that is equipped with a bt878 TV/Video capture card, and the box I am using for the Enlightenment project I posted about many times recently has a Geforce 5600FX. Last night, I ran a cable from the S-Video out on the GeForce to the composite in on the capture card (had to go composite since I don't have an S-Video cable long enough to cross the room... Cable used has an adapter to switch to a standard RCA cable.
So, after getting the two hooked up, I got XAWTV installed on the capture box, and rebooted the other computer. With XAWTV running, I was able to see the boot up process going through the capture card. So I think I am on the right track.
But (and isn't there always a big but?), the captured video leaves a lot to be desired. Here is what the final AVI file looks like: Warning. This is a big file
As you can see, the video quality is mighty poor. And it wasn't just the final video either. It looked this bad in XAWTV as well. So, is there any way to improve the video quality in XAWTV; and also, how about increasing the app's resolution since the tiny square of video is not easily readable, and I will need it to be legible on a full size display?
If XAWTV is unable to do this, then can anyone here recommend and alternate video capture app that would be up to the task at hand? Also would like an app that will actually save my settings, as XAWTV always reverts to whatever the default settings were when I shut it down and restart it.
In addition to improving the quality of the S-Video output, I also need some recommendations on how to reduce the filesize when capturing the video. The original, before Photobucket converted it to flv was an avi file over 10MB, which is really inefficient for my needs.
Finally, can anyone recommend a PCI video card that has S-Video output (must be a 4 pin S-Video connector), and has at least 8MB of video RAM? Or does some kind soul here have one lying about that they may be willing to part with inexpensively?
So, a summary of this post...
1: How do I get XAWTV to provide S-Video capture that is actually readable?
2: How do I get XAWTV to record in a higher resolution?
3: How do I get XAWTV to save my ******** settings?
4: If any of the above 3 are not possible, what are some other alternate video capture apps to try?
5: Hook me up with a 8MB or higher PCI video card that also does S-Video out? (4 pin S-Video connector is a must).

I used Kino previously in 8.04 Hardy, but it was buggy at best in 9.10 Karmic; I've just installed it in 10.04, but capture keeps stopping after 2 or 3 seconds. I also tried kdenlive, but the audio capture has a lot of 'noise' that is louder than the voices on the tape, and once it finishes capturing video, it doesn't display a 'Save' dialogue as it is supposed to - so that wasn't very successful either.So what can I use to capture video from a MiniDV Camera via Firewire.

This is on Karmic Koala 9.10. The video displays fine via guvcview using a Logitech webcam. The trouble is the capturing of the video. With .AVI, I've tried different video formats (MPEG-4, flash, etc.) and none of them will play. The generated .avi file seems to grow with data, but the result is just unplayable -- it just hangs, thinking it's playing. Is there a troubleshooting page or something to figure out what the problem I'm having with guvcviewer is?
