I am using Slackware 7.1 and with just one card installed everything worked fine after: mknod -m 0666 /dev/video c 81 0 But now i have installed a second one and have not found any information about how to configure it properly, neither in the documentation which comes together with the driver, nor in the mailing list archive. Have i missed a link anywhere? What i need to know is: 1.) Do i have to "mknod" another device and if i have to, how? 2.) Do i have to change the Makefile? With my poor understanding about unix devices i assumed that the first card will become /dev/video0 and the second /dev/video1. Is this correct or am i completely wrong. And how does this match with the /dev/ost/videoX devices?

Hi Dave, i've tested the software and I get a lot of errors, too (about 200-300 errors per MP3). Sometimes I get no errors for about one (or two) minute and then in a very short time (~ 1 sec.) I get 20 or more errors.

(I've a Hauppage DVB-S with the new chipset) First I've done 'make insmod' => n-tv appeard on the attached TV I tried the new ntuxzap, but after selecting a channel the TV screen turns black and nothing happens anymore. To find out what the problem is I played a little around with own code. I wrote the following code: fe.iFrequency = 12670000 - 10600000; fe.SymbolRate = 22000; fe.FEC_inner = 0; ioctl( fd_frontend, QPSK_TUNE, &fe ); If the driver is freshly load (means n-tv is on the screen) and this code is executed, the picuture freezes and nothing happens. I would assume that after executing this code nothing should happen to the signal ? I would suspect that something with the new tuner support is not working correctly.

TREMENDOUS ;-) I have just compiled it without any problem (well I had to do a make in the /usr/src/DVB-2.4.3/libdvb/ directory because I hadn't done it before).

Yes, I tried it as well yesterday and had the same problem. Now I'm back to 2.4.2 again. And somebody posted similar problems in a recent post.

They use 2/3 of the original resolution to reduce the complexity of the imput image. First you have to resize the decoded MPEG2-Frames to the full 720 pixel width. I don't know if this is possible with the new FlaskMPEG, but with my combination of DVD2AVI -> VirtualDub and idm4c (patched M4C variant) the results is ok. Could you give me a hint, how to remultiplex the VDR-Files to one single PS-Stream? Right now I use pes2av_pes and PVAStrumento 2.0.2 to get a legal MPEG2-PS. But at the junction point of these Files is a short audio loss, because PVAStrumento deletes the prerolled audiostream that remains to the last VDR-File. I want one large (or maybe chopped) MPEG2-PS from my VDR-Recordings for further processing. So an idea anyone?

They use 2/3 of the original resolution to reduce the complexity of the imput image. First you have to resize the decoded MPEG2-Frames to the full 720 pixel width. I don't know if this is possible with the new FlaskMPEG, but with my combination of DVD2AVI -> VirtualDub and idm4c (patched M4C variant) the results is ok. Could you give me a hint, how to remultiplex the VDR-Files to one single PS-Stream? Right now I use pes2av_pes and PVAStrumento 2.0.2 to get a legal MPEG2-PS. But at the junction point of these Files is a short audio loss, because PVAStrumento deletes the prerolled audiostream that remains to the last VDR-File.

Too long :-) That's why I switched fs from ext2 to reiserfs and had nothing but trouble with it since. It seems there are some problems with reiserfs and nfs. Some of them are supposed to be fixed in 2.4.3, but well, that does not work with the dvd-driver and VDR. There are some patches for reiserfs and the knfsd and a patch which fixes some reiserfs problems. Well, they collide and I don't know how to resolve this. Oh, well. I hope, the VDR will work with 2.4.3 soon. cu, Lars -- A day for firm decisions!!!!! Or is it? --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

I've heard, that it will be included in the next distribution, but ... Ok, here is a better solution: If you've installed a SuSE 7.1 (with bootkernel 2.2.18) you have a reiserfs partition with an old format (Version 3.5). With kernel 2.4.xx you can mount the partition with the option "conv" Ex.: mount -o conv /dev/sda? /video The filesystem will be converted to the new 3.6 format and supports large files, but you _can't_ use this partitions with kernel 2.2.xx! You need to convert it one time, of course. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Dieter Bloms (Dieter.Bloms@suse.de) -------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE Linux Solutions AG, Tel: +49-911-74053653 Schanzaeckerstr. 10, Fax: +49-911-74053674 90443 Nuernberg, Email: Dieter.Bloms@suse.de Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key fingerprint = C54E EAD2 784A 5402 C4E4 A58A 414A AEA1 9038 7583 --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

I have not the opportunity to play around that much with my VDR-Box as it has gone "productive" much earlier as wanted (high pressure of my custome, aka family :) So please, can somebody tell me if there is a way leading to Kernel 2.4x and VDR? I've noticed that the majority of my problems (frozen system, kernel panic etc.) is liked with the implementation of ReiserFS in SuSE 7.1 Also I've got some problems to mplex files without getting a kernel panic. Seems like ReiserFS 3.5 has some trouble with heavily used partitions. To bad that there is no full NTFS5 r/w support :( Maybe XFS will be much better. Right now it seems to mee like ReiserFS is full of bugs, but the only feasible file system available. Right now this compination is had to use.

But then again, i'm using the userland nfs daemon because of enough other problems with knfsd. So you might try a normal nfs daemon instead of knfsd. nfs sucks anyway, i'm still hoping for a decent network file system.

Sometimes also the Astron hang up. Then i have to reload the DRIVER then it works again... Also if i use the Astron and the IRDETO at different CI interfaces (2 DVB-S CARDS) it don´t works because the driver only works with one CI. Perhaps this can be changed in future driverupdates...

Please note that VDR still uses the "old" API and thus requires driver version 0.8.2. I hope to find the time to make the transition to the new API some time soon... The new version 0.72 of the Video Disk Recorder project is now available at http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/download.htm - Fixed SVDRP commands LSTC and LSTT to make them return an error message if no channels or timers are defined. - Enhanced 'channels.conf.cable'. - Fixed switching to another channel via the EPG while a recording is being replayed. - Fixed a memory leak in the EIT processor that happened when the system time was set. - Fixed internationalization of some Main menu texts. - Updated 'channels.conf' after the recent changes of Premiere World. - Redesigned the ring buffer to make it work with two separate threads for input and output (also prepared for using a remultiplexer). - Fixed setting system time from transponders. - Fixed a segfault in the Schedule menu in case there is no EPG information. - The 'runvdr' script now kills any leftover vdr threads before restarting it. - Fixed a problem with Daylight Saving Time when displaying the times of recordings. - Added Dutch language texts. - The new command line option -t can be used to set the controlling terminal. - Since the CAM module only works if it is installed in the "highest" DVB card, recordings now search for a free DVB card from lowest to highest index (as opposed to the previous "highest to lowest" search) in order to not use the CAM card for FTA recordings unless necessary. - Added the "statdvb2vdr" tool from Hans-Peter Raschke. - Fixed a segfault that sometimes happened when killing VDR. - SVDRP now also works with clients that don't do line buffering (like the Windows 'telnet'). - Empty lines in config files no longer cause error messages. - New SVDRP command LSTE to list the EPG data. Have fun!

Many of the registers of the VES1893 are relative to the SR, like the parameters for the carrier frequency recovery algorithm and the synchronization algorithms. Maybe these should be adjusted for low SRs. Note that the signal aquisition time also increases for low SRs. Please let me know if you have any success tinkering with the VES1893 register settings.

I don't know what is causing your problem, but I have successfully used the Linux drivers to tune to channels with many different symbol rates as low as 4000 (e.g. the Dutch Fox channel on Eutelsat 16 degrees East). What channel are you trying to view? As long as it's somewhere between 28E and 31W, then I'm happy to try it. I know that even commercial receivers can require very slightly different symbol rate entries from each other for the same channel. Try adjusting the symbol rate either up or down by a small value.

Does this mean that the occasional video and/or audio glitches that were caused by the non-optimal multiplexing in the old driver are no longer going to be a problem with the new API - or are the two data streams remultiplexed "behind" the two devices, before the data is sent to the DVB card (and thus still have the same problems)? If this were the case, I wouldn't have to bother remultiplexing the data in VDR ;-) Maybe one of the driver developers can comment on this.

It doesn't deliver through /dev/ost/video or audio. You have to get the TS from /dev/ost/dvr or set PES filters. The other 2 devices are only for playback. Since we have to reconstruct the TS in the driver (not for the budget cards), you will still have the muxing problems. For playback you don't have to write into separate devices, you can write the muxed PS/PES stream into /dev/ost/video. There is no muxing magic behind the devices. Have a look at tuxplayer or ntuxplayer for playback of PS/PES and at ntuxplayer for playback of TS (there are 2 ways to do that). > > If this were the case, I wouldn't have to bother remultiplexing the > data in VDR ;-) Sorry, no such luck.

You need the latest CVS version. Remember vdr doesn't work with the latest CVS version, yet. AFAIK, there have also bee some problems with mdk (murder, death, kill ? :) ) kernels. You should use an official kernel from kernel.org. If you like you can fix the 0.8.2 version. Shouldn't be too hard. Just look at the differences to the CVS version. If you have the new version of the Haupauge card (with the new tuner and demodulator) you need the latest CVS version (0.9). I would suggest, for making a clean test, you get the latest kernel from kernel.org (or a mirror thereof), switch on video4linux and i2c support, get the latest CVS version, and try to get the tux* programs to work (not gVideo).

So is there _any_ way to get the same kind of data out of the new API as it was delivered (by default) from /dev/video of the old API (I believe that's what's called PS/PES)? Either from one device, or as separate video and audio streams from two devices. The TS is of no use to VDR, it needs the PS/PES data as before. I'm really wondering why the new API had to give up the /dev/video way of doing things. IMHO it was such a nice thing that you could simply do a 'cat /dev/video > file' to record (and the other way round to replay). As far as I see now accessing the DVB API is a lot more trouble - or am I missing something here? Is there some great advantage in the new API that I just don't see?

(I've a Hauppage DVB-S with the new chipset) First I've done 'make insmod' => n-tv appeard on the attached TV I tried the new ntuxzap, but after selecting a channel the TV screen turns black and nothing happens anymore. To find out what the problem is I played a little around with own code. I wrote the following code: fe.iFrequency = 12670000 - 10600000; fe.SymbolRate = 22000; fe.FEC_inner = 0; ioctl( fd_frontend, QPSK_TUNE, &fe ); If the driver is freshly load (means n-tv is on the screen) and this code is executed, the picuture freezes and nothing happens. I would assume that after executing this code nothing should happen to the signal ? I would suspect that something with the new tuner support is not working correctly.

The budget cards for example deliver it without any change directly as it comes from the transponder. So the /dev/ost/dvr output is the natural solution. If we had stayeed with the old way we would require a transformation within the driver which would usually not be done by the hardware. Such transformations should be done in user space. If you take the two files dvb_formats.c and dvb_formats.h from the tuxzap sources and include them into vdr it shouldn't be hard to get the PES packets you need. You have the choice either to record the TS and transform it during playback (thats one of the ways ntuxplayer uses) or to transform the TS during recording (maybe thats easier). In the second case you won't have to change much for playback. You can write it into /dev/ost/video instead of /dev/video, you just need to call some ioctls to setup playback.

Anyway, you would have to leave tuxzap running while recording. You can try starting tuxzap, setting the channel and pushing the tux button. Then use a shell and type "cat /dev/ost/dvr > filename". This should record the program. Remember, tuxzap has to be running.

This can be done by playing with libdvb, i.e. the usleep call in the "feStatus DVB::tune_it(struct qpskParameters *qpsk)" routine in DVB.cc. You could also try to set sleep calls after other ioctl calls.

I've got almost the same problem. 'make insmod' will let the screen flicker, then the boot message ("(c) convergence integrated media") appears and while the message is scrolling down I can see n-tv. I then start tuxzap or ntuxzap and try to switch channels. Most of the time, this works well but it feels as if switching the channels slows down the longer the driver has been loaded. Then, suddenly the screen will go black when I switch to another channel and I can't switch channels anymore (i.e. I can switch the channel in tuxzap but nothing happens on the TV screen). I then have to run "make rmmod ; make insmod" to get a picture again. But this doesn't always bring the card back to work. Sometimes the screen stays black, sometimes I get no n-tv picture (just the boot message) and sometimes the card will work again until it suddenly restarts (? screen goes blank, boot message appears, no n-tv) while I watch TV. At first I thought this is a temperature related problem since I installed Linux on the PC the day before yesterday and left the system running until I had time to install the DVB driver yesterday evening. I turned the computer off yesterday evening and today the problem reappeared right after I booted the system and loaded the driver. I also tried to record a show wih tuxplayer. I haven't used the dvbdriver under Linux before (since I have the new Hauppauge card) so I'm probably doing something wrong: I start tuxzap to select a channel, then stop tuxzap and start tuxplayer. As soon I start tuxplayer, the picture will freeze, the sound will go away and if I start a recording, the output file will remain empty. The sound will come back if I quit tuxplayer but the image will stay frozen. If I then quit tuxplayer and start tuxzap again, I can switch channels but the images goes black and I can only hear the sound of the channel I switch to. If I can be of any help in this matter I would be glad to help. I've put together the system to be used as a digital VCR, but this doesn't work yet because the original Hauppauge software under Windows is pretty useless, WinDVB2000 doesn't work with the new model (at least I didn't get anything but the OSD) and Klaus hasn't ported VDR to the new API. So, I have plenty of time to fool around with the driver ;-) hh --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

Sound very familiar to me :-) I think I know what's your problem. There are still some modules missing. If you start a "make insmod" in /DVB/driver, this make calls an other "make insmod" command in /DVB/ost/src. If you also load this modules it should work.

It would be even easier to implement the correct order in the vdr program. If you have activated the autoloader feature of the kernel, than vdr should load the modules itself. Unfortunatly this does not work, because the modules are not initialized in the correct order in vdr. I.e. if vdr calls a module, that is not allready loaded, then the kernel loads this module. If there are modules which depend on other modules, then this modules are loaded too (see modules.dep). So if you start vdr without loading the modules before (i.e. with insmod), the vdr hangs up. I tried to manipulate the modules.dep in order to achieve the correct order. It nearly worked. Only one module (tuner.o) was missing. So if the init procdure in vdr is updated in that way, then you will only have to start vdr to get things running. > thx for any help!

By "correct", I mean the recommended order for performing the various steps, and how/if I can check that each step has completed successfully before starting the next one. I don't like the idea of inserting arbitrary "sleep" commands between the stages. Also, what are the equivalents in the new API for the front.channel_flags (DVB_CHANNEL_CA and DVB_CHANNEL_FTA) and the front.pnr parameters used with the old API. My tuning sequence is as follows: 1) SEC_SEND_SEQUENCE:(set tone, voltage and Diseqc): if (ioctl(fd_sec,SEC_SEND_SEQUENCE,&scmds) < 0) { ERROR! } 2) QPSK_TUNE (set frequency and Srate): if (ioctl(fd_qpskfe,QPSK_TUNE,&qpsk) < 0) { ERROR! } 3) call QPSK_GET_EVENT and wait for event. 4) If event.type is QPSK_COMPLETION_EV, then call DMX_SET_PES_FILTER to set the Video, Audio and Teletext PIDs.

That's exactly what I do. QPSK demodulator hardware does some more or less complicated stuff to achieve carrier locking (including AFC) and sync recovery. These algorithms are restarted explicitly by QPSK_TUNE. If you would do the SEC_SEND_SEQUENCE as the second step, you'd change the signal while the demodulator algorithms are running, which makes the demodulator's job much harder, i.e. slower and more likely to fail. Also, after a SEC_SEND_SEQUENCE it may be a good idea to wait for some msecs for the signal to stabilize, before starting the QPSK_TUNE. The necessary wait duration is probably very dependent of the type and connection of diseqc switches used. The QPSK_GET_EVENT stuff is meant to work asynchronously, i.e. the driver should test the frontend sync byte repeatedly, and if necessary perform a zig-zag scan or other stuff, and post the QPSK event when it either has a lock or gives up. The current implementation does not do this, but posts the QPSK event immediately after setting the frontend paramteres. Quite often this results in a failure event, because the demodulator is still busy trying to achieve a lock at this time. To compensate for that, wait some msecs and try FE_READ_STATUS. The driver's libdvb tries that up to 10 times (search DVB.cc for QPSK_GET_EVENT). Also, you don't have to block in the QPSK_GET_EVENT ioctl, but can use select (use exceptfds) or poll (with flag POLLPRI) on the frontend file descriptor. Thus users can zap to the next channel w/o waiting for the driver to finish tuning to the current channel. > What checks can I perform to check that the tuning process is working happily? The FE_READ_STATUS ioctl gives you two flags: - FE_HAS_SIGNAL (frontend is completly locked) - FE_HAS_LOCK (frontend sees a carrier, but symbolrate/fec is wrong or SNR is to bad or whatever) FE_HAS_LOCK is more experimental and meant for transponder scanning. The full sync byte as available in the old API is not in the new API, because it is too dependent on the VES1893 chip. If you know that you have a VES1893, you can use the following to read it: /* NOT RECOMMENDED */ uint8_t get_sync (int fefd) { struct qpskRegister reg; reg.chipId = 0x20; /* decoder */ reg.address = 0x0e; /* sync */ if (ioctl (fefd, QPSK_READ_REGISTER, ®) == -1) { perror ("QPSK_READ_REGISTER"); return 0; } return reg.value; } Regarding PES filters: During tuning, there is some possibility that the demodulator outputs bogus data, which the demuxer and/or MPEG decoder takes as an invitation to crash ("ARM RESET"). Ralph told me, that I must stop (DMX_STOP) all filters before tuning to avoid that. OTOH, the signal could get weak at any time, so ultimately the only way to avoid ARM RESETs is that the demuxer/MPEG decoder firmware gains stability.

Exactly, and the AV7110 cannot scale the vertical resolution from 480 to 576. And at 480 it cannot produce full picture PAL like PAL60 would be. It should be possible to get a smaller picturem, i.e. the TV screen would not be completely filled and the aspect ratio would be wrong. But this is not supported right now.

I have implemented a VDR extension that allows you to select an MP3 play list via the OSD and play it back via the DVB-S sound outputs. It's not perfect yet. In particular it has these 3 "features": 1) It is a perfect test case for the driver bug (ARM reset loop) that I described in http://linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/msg03203.html After you played an MP3 play list using my VDR extension, as soon as you switch to a different channel, the driver goes into the ARM reset loop. You have to reload it to fix that. 2) It plays the list song by song until the end of the list or you stop the playback. There are no fancy features such as skipping a song, etc. yet. 3) I made the modification to VDR 0.71. I have not ported it to VDR 0.72 yet. Klaus wants to integrate this into an official vdr release in the future. I hope to have time to look into the above three items before that.

Klaus? I'm currently adapting VDR to the new API. This will probably take a little while until everything works again. After that I'll look into implementing new features and including patches like the LCD-patch.

It just creates the two files 'audio.pes' and 'video.pes'. Tuning the channel with VDR (partially adapted to the NAPI) works fine, so the problem must be within the test_pes.c example.

In my experience, unfortunately it is not too precise. Some channels seem to pre-prorgam this table for the whole day and just use the clock to broadcast this information, which the of course is in no way synchronized to the actual broadcasts. Others seem to switch it manually, again with the effect that it sometimes is not synchronized to the actual broadcasts. It reminds me of the early days of VPS, which was not reliable either back then. > maybe this is not so good for starting, but for stopping the recording? At least for case 2 above that might help. As an additional heuristic, one could make sure that the recording never gets shorter than the duration of the program to be recorded.

In fact, that should not be hard at all. Why don't you give it a try? Here are some hints: I have written a small filter program that converts the tvtv.de "Merkliste" HTML page into a timers.conf file for VDR. So, all that's missing is a thing that checks the live web page in regular intervals, downloads it and converts it into a timers.conf file. I believe this can be done with a 20-line perl script. The net result would be, that you can program your VDR from anywhere in the world with a simple web click.

Over the weekend I (with the help of Dave Chapman) managed to adapt VDR's channel tuning, OSD and EPG features to the NAPI, but I am using kernel 2.4.0 (as it comes with SuSE 7.1). Is there a reason why you are saying that one would need kernel >=2.4.1? From what I can see so far, it works fine with kernel 2.4.0 (didn't do record/replay yet, though).

Here is an idea that is quite bullet-proof, but a bit limited in scope: For recordings of programs (like 3sat's "nano"), which have a well-defined intro, we could do the following: Take two frames from a previous recording, extract a few raster lines from the middle of these frames, build a checksum from theses lines and store it with the timer. At a certain time before the scheduled start of this program, VDR would switch to that channel and compare the checksums of the same raster lines of every frame with the stored checksum. As soon as the first frame is found this way, VDR checks whether the second frame follows in the correct distances. If yes, it starts the recording. As a safety precaution, it could start the recording at the scheduled time in any event. Carsten. --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

The current driver uses the i2c-core module from the kernel, and 2.4.0's i2c.h is missing some defines needed to compile the driver. At least that was what I heard, I upgraded from 2.4.0preX directly to to 2.4.1... Otherwise, the exact kernel version should be irrelevant for the driver itself.

Having open one PES_AUDIO-demux-device and one PES_VIDEO-demux-device works fine (target is the MPEG-Decoder on the Siemens-Card). However I did _not_ get any data (DMX_OUT_TAP) for another PES_OTHER-demux_device (for checking out the PAT (PID = 0x0000)). Only after closing the PES_AUDIO- and PES_VIDEO-file-descriptors (the audio/video-demuxing still works ==> I can see the TV-Program!) I am getting the desired data!? Is this correct: I have to close demuxing-devices with the MPEG-Decoder as target, before any DMX_OUT_TAP-demux works!? Do I get other issues by closing a demux without stopping it first?

However, when I dump the video file to look at the structure, it would appear that the file is pretty incomplete. Can one of the driver developers please comment on whether this is already supposed to work, or if this is still "under construction"?

Hello Carsten, this is of course a nice idea, but a little bit unrealistic. Eg. To solve a very simple "Shot Detection" for mpeg1 video with a State-of-art algorithm, you need at least the power of an 200-300Mhz CPU for each videostream. I think that a videoanalysis of this mpeg2 stream with a four times higher resolution is more wastefully with your "number-crunching-resources" and therefore not possible in realtime. An other aspect is given by the transmission between videosources (eg. BetaCam SP VTR), routing "in house" and broadcaster to the satellite uplink station. These connections are shurely but rarely of an analoge type (yes composite- or component video). Belive me - I am very familiar with these technologies on german boadcaster and german Telekom. So you have a set of distortion (noise, ...) and different levels of luma/chroma that don´t allow to recognize parts of video in realtime. And i don´t want to by a "Numbercruncher" for my VDR (AMDK62-266, 128MB, 40GB and two DVB´s - Yes, it works great).

I also managed to pipe the output of test_dvr through a fifo. You have to modify test_dvr's i/o to a multiple of 188 for the fifo to work. OMS needs an extension of .ts to select the correct demux plugin. OMS currently has the vid/aud pids hard coded in its ts demux. Not very elegant, but it does play both files and off the air. Although the audio is a bit late, the video is in sync with a tv hooked to a commercial receiver. I haven't looked at how they do synch. I've even been able to play the video of a stream that seems to be 4.2.2 and contains field pictures that my commercial receiver just gives up on. OMS uses about 25% of my 600Mhz machine.

A very good question. FlaskMPEG can only process ES and PS streams AFAIK. DVD2AVI is more robust, you can also view the PES generated by VDR, but you get a lot of disortions becasue DVD2AVI is not aware of the additional information. I yust remember that Flask died whey I tried to use other MPEG stream types than ES / PS. Best is to re-multiplex with "mplex -t MPEG2 -o ". It is part of the DVB-S driver. But you need some space for temporary data, approximately additional 1.1 times the space. So if your file is, let's say, 5GB, you will need about 10,5 GB. Best would be to multiple diskdrives. One with the source file, one for the temporary data and one for the final file. Therefore I stay with VDRs filesize of 1GB. If you have one large MPEG file, you can use vstrip or DVTool to split it at GOP size. You will find them at Doom9 webpage.

You can't get slow motion through /dev/ost/dvr. This device assumes that it gets the data from a realtime source like a webcast or a satellite transponder. Thats why can set filters on that incoming stream just like it came from satellite. If you want slow motion you have to feed your data as a multiplexed PS/PES into /dev/ost/video or as separate PES into /dev/ost/video and /dev/ost/audio.

The PES packets are already in the TS you just have to strip the TS headers and put the PES together. I have done that in ntuxplayer. Just call "ntuxplayer -i TS_STREAM -n -a APID -v VPID " and it will playback the file using APID and VPID as audio and video PID, respectively. The -n option tells the player tu use /dev/ost/video instead of /dev/ost/dvr, that is why I also have to use the -a and -v option, because I can't use the section filters of /dev/ost/dvr in that case and I don't have my own filters implemented in ntuxplayer, yet. Anyway, you can now use slow motion and fast forward. It plays back well on a Celeron 300, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Well, let's say I record video and audio the way test_pes.c does, and send the resulting two files into /dev/ost/video and /dev/ost/audio, respectively. That way I would feed the driver with what it has produced earlier.

I assume WinTV Nova is basically the same as the TT-DVB budget PCI card and there is an interesting paragraph at: http://www.technotrend.de/english/products/pcproducts3-2.html which states: Offer several options, upon customer's request, such as Common Interface and embedded Conditional Access. By customer I assume they mean OEM customer, so it raises the possibility of there being some company which might be selling a budget card with CI support.

WinDVD doesn't play VDR- Files at all. After Conversion to MPEG2 with MPLEX WinDVD plays, but Picture and sound one second divided. MPEG2-Players (like ELECARD) play without Sound. Using MPLEX with the option VIDEO DELAY results in stopping conversion after 40...50% of the File.

The reason is that dvb 0.8.2 uses two different videodev.h files: DVB/driver/msp3400.c, DVB/driver/saa7146_v4l.c and, surprisingly, DVB/driver/videodev.c use the one in your current kernel-tree (#include ), while DVB/driver/tuner.c and DVB/driver/dvb_v4l.h (and therefore VDR/eit.c, DVB/driver/dvb.h, VDR/dvbapi.h ... too) use DVB/driver/videodev.h (#include "videodev.h"). This worked with kernel versions prior to 2.4.3 (at least it did with 2.4.2) because DVB/driver/videodev.h and the kernel videodev.h were "about the same". However, with 2.4.3 there is a significant difference in the video_device structure: DVB/driver/videodev.h: struct video_device { char name[32]; int type; int hardware; ... kernel 2.4.3 videodev.h: struct video_device { struct module *owner; char name[32]; int type; int hardware; ... To get things working with 2.4.3, I removed DVB/driver/videodev.c and DVB/driver/videodev.h and created soft links to the kernel version of these files instead. Then I added the definitions of VID_TYPE_DVB and VID_PLAY_CLEAR_BUFFER to the kernel videodev.h file. Finally the initialization of dvb_template and vbi_template had to be adapted: dvb_template = { NULL, /*set pointer to owner to NULL*/ ... This results in the same behavior that DVB/driver/videodev.c had. At least it works for me. Probably it would have been easier the other way round (replace the kernel videodev.* by soft links to DVB/driver/videodev.*) as long as no other program needs the new kernel 2.4.3 videodev.* syntax. DVB/driver/videodev.* seems to have gone in the cvs version of dvb, so this problem should be gone as well. I hope I could help, Benjamin P.S.: I subscribed this list after I read the html versions of the above postings, so I had to insert the In-Reply-To and References by hand.

The reason is that dvb 0.8.2 uses two different videodev.h files: DVB/driver/msp3400.c, DVB/driver/saa7146_v4l.c and, surprisingly, DVB/driver/videodev.c use the one in your current kernel-tree (#include ), while DVB/driver/tuner.c and DVB/driver/dvb_v4l.h (and therefore VDR/eit.c, DVB/driver/dvb.h, VDR/dvbapi.h ... too) use DVB/driver/videodev.h (#include "videodev.h"). This worked with kernel versions prior to 2.4.3 (at least it did with 2.4.2) because DVB/driver/videodev.h and the kernel videodev.h were "about the same". However, with 2.4.3 there is a significant difference in the video_device structure: DVB/driver/videodev.h: struct video_device { char name[32]; int type; int hardware; ... kernel 2.4.3 videodev.h: struct video_device { struct module *owner; char name[32]; int type; int hardware; ... To get things working with 2.4.3, I removed DVB/driver/videodev.c and DVB/driver/videodev.h and created soft links to the kernel version of these files instead. Then I added the definitions of VID_TYPE_DVB and VID_PLAY_CLEAR_BUFFER to the kernel videodev.h file. Finally the initialization of dvb_template and vbi_template had to be adapted: dvb_template = { NULL, /*set pointer to owner to NULL*/ ... This results in the same behavior that DVB/driver/videodev.c had. At least it works for me. Probably it would have been easier the other way round (replace the kernel videodev.* by soft links to DVB/driver/videodev.*) as long as no other program needs the new kernel 2.4.3 videodev.* syntax. DVB/driver/videodev.* seems to have gone in the cvs version of dvb, so this problem should be gone as well. I hope I could help, Benjamin P.S.: I subscribed this list after I read the html versions of the above postings, so I had to insert the In-Reply-To and References by hand.

The signal is routed to the loop-out all the time. 2. But, the control signals (22khz,12/18V) are accepted from the OUT only when the master receiver is switched off. I think that this exactly explain what you are experiencing. (the signal is on TV out but the control signals are determined by the DVB software, whose may be same/different depending on the situation and therefore some channels are not visible) The question is what "switched off" means for the DVB card, because AFAIK the PC must powered ON all the time to pass the signal to LNB OUT! I think there must be a such function in the software/driver which enables the LNB OUT.

I agree with you that the driver should deliver MPEG2 data that are compatible with as many other programs as possible - even with windoze stuff. Unfortunately, this is not yet the case. But I do not think your only option is to go back to an analogue VCR. Here are two ideas: 1) Simply reduce VDR's MAXVIDEOFILESIZE in dvbapi.c to a size that will fit on your CD. Then archive the VDR file directly. OK, until the driver delivers correctly multiplexed MPEG2, this will work on no VCD- or DVD-player, but at least it's archived and VDR will be able to play it back. Also, it will save you a lot of time and frustration. 2) Buy one or two of those cheap 80 GB hard disks and just leave the stuff on the disk. OK, it will cost a bit more money per GB, but it will save you even more time and frustration. ;-) See http://www.geizhals.at/de/?cat=hd&sort=r Carsten. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

Nothing has worked. I used mplex from the 0.82 drivers to convert the input files to all the implemented formats. I had some error messages about buffer underflows for the VCD and SVCD formats. The source was a ZDF commercial sequence starting with the "Mainzelmännchen". The whole sequence was about 64MBytes. Because I like all the videoprocessing tools on my W2k box I copied all the resulting files and also the original to the W2k box and tried several tools to convert the files into a standard compressed SVCD but.... 1. The windows mediaplayer plays them all except MPEG(1). The MPEG2 format was the best. Absolut top quality in video but I'am not able to use fullscreen. It is jumping from picture to picture. The sound is poping a little bit but I think thats because of the amount of data. My Graphics card is a ASUS 7700. This should be fast enough but maybe the disk is the bottleneck. These are uncompressed data, so a hugh amount of throughput is used. And the W2k uses also a lot of CPU sometimes 2. All the PVA tools are not recognizing the VDR streams and the other formats. 3. flaskMPEG with bbMPEG seems to work for my MPEG2 format first but bbMPEG will use more than 225 hours (and that is to much for only 64Mbyte. I'm thinking about normal movies with 4-6Gbytes. In that time I can produce such movies by myself. 4. TMPGenc was the next try. But here I only got 12 (in words twelve) frames compressed and than it stops. All the settings where made according to the "EDV-Tip" from Stefan Uchrin. From the useability I like the program most, but only for twelve frames....? 5. Than I checked it with Adobe Premiere and MovieXOne/MoviePack. But here its the same. After 12 frames these programs are stoped using the MPEG2 file. So at the time I have nothing on CD but a filled up disk in my "Wohnzimmer-Linux"-PC and a lot of real good movies on the air. I think I have to turn back to tho "old-economy-fashioned" VCR. Or is there some help out in the wild??

If the > documentation says it should be Pro 7, I think the documentation is wrong. You can choose the channel with the insmod parameter init_chan. 0=nothing, 1=PRO7, 2=N-TV I sometimes change the used value in the Makefile, depending on what I am testing. Default is 0 which is the correct behavior. After all, if no filter is set there should be no picture. But I keep it <>0 so that peple see something when testing the driver for the first time. Btw., the default for "pids_off" also should be 1, which means that all display is stopped once the filters are closed. I also only kept this option because some seem to like to have the picture of the last used channel on, even if the application using it is off. > > Went to DVB/apps, an d make told me, it couldn´t find videodev.h & > > dvb_v4l.h. > > I think the Makefile in the apps subdirectory does not work currently.

Seldom maybe, but not at all useless. For example, ARD, Bayerisches Fernsehen, Hessen Fernsehen, Arte, SR Fernsehen, WDR, BR Alpha, Suedwest BW and Phoenix all share transponder 71 on Astra 1G. See http://www.lyngsat.com/astra1g.shtml I would guess that the real problem here is: Klaus already has three DVB-S cards, so he has not a lot of need for another card. As long as Klaus does not have a budget card, I would assume that he will not implement vdr support for it. On the other hand, if I understand the previous discussion on this list about the multplexing problems correctly, the budget card delivers a correct stream that does not have to be re-multiplexed to be 100% intact. Is that correct? Maybe THAT would be a much stronger argument for the budget card than the option of recording many programs simultaneously? Also, is there a chance that vdr will simply work with the budget card as soon as vdr supports the new API?

The one 80 GB disk is already filling. :) There is just to much to record this weekend. Have to buy a few more disks next week. :) The installation took me about 2 days until I could do my first recordings (Star Wars day on PW at friday) controlled by my Pronto remote. I did a similar setup like with my Humax IRCI-5400 in the menu so that my wife didn't have any problem to use it. :) But as others already have recommended ther should be discrete codes for most of the functionality be available. So one can program a remote for direkt access to the functionality. Beside the problems with VDR/DVB-card already mentioned on this list like: - OSD display changes colors or disappears - occasional stutter on replay in spite of enabled DMA - inprecisive cutting I noticed the following bugs: - cutting doesn't copy over the summary from the source - sometimes moving back the cutting mark doesn't be possible My next steps are: - move the whole server from living room to the cellar - upgrade the system to a total of 5 DVB-S cards - install cables for transmitting all signals on the internal connector of the first card to the living room and feed composite, s-video, audio, s/pdif to the A/V receiver Then I will have a look into the VDR software to upgrade it for multi-user. Card two and three will feed a twin modulator for distribution of the signals through my in-house distribution network. From each of the three feeds VDR is to be controlled independendly by remote control (in-house IR distribution is already installed). Eeach of them gets independend menues and can setup recordings on the two extra DVB-cards (one with PW), replay recordings, do cutting, ... everything one user can do today. So further steps are: - multi-user support - access control for functionality, recordings and channels (yes we have kids) - tuning the selection strategy on free DVB cards for recording - improving the user interface a bit . displaying channel data at the bottom together with start and end time and current time just like with Humax . structuring recordings in multiple level subdirectories (movies, documentaries, music videos, ...) . ... more to come - ... and a lot more This will all take some time because I am very busy otherwise. But due to the great work already done this all shouldn't be to hard to achieve. There is some very exciding time ahead. :) Emil -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

On ther other side the quality of the DVB-s card is not to bad. I can probably live with that. The only problem that annoys me currently is the OSD color change.

You'll have to generate an index file according to the format that can be seen in the cIndexFile definition in dvbapi.c. This file contains the file number and offset of all the frames in the recording. I'll have to check why VDR crashes if there is no such file and you try to go into fast fwd/back mode.

VDR will do the recording just like shown in the DVB/apps/test/test_pes.c example. If that is also possible with the budget card, then it will work. The data will be stored as multiplexed PS/PES, just like in VDR version 0.7x.

Be careful , a video PES in a TS usually doesn't contain the length field, i.e. it is set to 0. Furthermore, their length is not bound by the maximal possible value for an unsigned 16 bit number, i.e. 0xffff. ARD and ZDF are masters in very long video PES, this is part of the reason for the muxing problem. Unfortunately, this is all conform with the MPEG standard.

With the AV7110 card it is hard to handle them because of the way the video ES is extracted from the decoder buffer. There is a queue with PTS and length entries in the hardware. Reading of data can only be done when the queue pointer jumps to the next slot (when the next PTS comes) because before that the length entry of the current slot is not right yet. So, if the video PES is very long (which means the time between PTSs can be even longer), those video PES are sent very late compared to the audio PES and muxing will be even worse than with other channels. If you build real-time remuxing into VDR this will of course be no problem at all :-) Ralph -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

As far as I can understand the code, they use a "faked" buffer that represents the buffer of the player. they "write" the PES data into the buffer according to the PTS and check if the PTS is less than the SCR which they also simulate. Then they use some coditions depending on buffer filling and PTS of audio and video to write into the buffer and read out of buffer, i.e. write to disk. They only rule you can make out of this is that you have to have the data out of the buffer before it needs to be displayed, i.e. PTS < SCR. The audio and video buffer size acts are the boundary conditions for that. I didn't have time to take all that stuff apart, so I just used it as is. Maybe theres is a scientific paper or maybe a some kind of thesis about that on the net.

Hauppauge is also well known for not changing the model number of products even when radically changing the hardware.

Anyway, the new frontend is the one without pass-through connection. This one will not work with the old driver. There is no way to get the complete TS with the new API yet.

As far as I understand the problem is that Audio and Video is only in sync when every PTS information provided is used. By demultiplexing you strip off the PTS and by re-multiplexing again you take the seperate audio and video streams as is. Thats why you sometimes got vanishing audio and stuff. The only way to get a clean and 100% sync mpeg is to have a multiplex routine which checks for ever audio PTS and searchs for the according video PTS and vice versa. I'm not sure if this can be done on the fly... So for Offline conversion of PVA (PES) Files to mpg I use a great tool names PVAstrumento which in fact does the mux methods described above. You can check this out on http://www.offeryn.com/ Maybe if you contact Wiljo (the Author of PVAstrumento) he is willing to share the code for multiplexing with you. As far as I know he told me once, that this new version of PVAstrumento (2.xx) would have the ability to be integrated as an "on the fly" filter. But of course it's written for windows and must be ported. If you like I can make the "first contact" (maybe watching star trek a little often ?). btw: I have tried PVAstrumento on some files recorded by VDR and it works - so the format is basically the same... I hope this helps... Regards, Martin. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

I want to store them in ONE file as a multiplexed PS/PES stream, just like the 0.8.2 driver did when reading from /dev/video. I am also thinking about storing the AC3 digital audio data as a second audio stream in that file. Do you think this will be feasible? When replaying, VDR would then filter out the second audio stream and send it to whatever code or program necessary to play the AC3 sound. The video and "normal" audio data would be sent into /dev/ost/video as usual. Isn't there some "standard" that says how a multiplexed PS/PES stream has to be created in order to be replayed without problems? If the "very long video PES" blocks are conform with the MPEG standard, why is it so hard to handle them?

Hi there, i finally got VDR 7.1 running under Suse 7.1 with the 0.8.2 drivers and LIRC. First of all I like to mention that it works really fine - I used Windows2000 with WinDVB Live before that - but as a standalone solution I bet VDR is the best choice :-) Maybe the "problem" I am experiencing is no real problem - but some misunderstanding because of my only-Windows-knowledge :-) I start VDR on tty1 using the vdr executable or the script runvdr. Now I switch to the graphical console to log into X. The Session gets started (KDE and stuff) and when at this point VDR is still running. Now logging off on the graphical console (not on tty1) kills the VDR Process running under tty1 - even when I started vdr with the --daemon option! Why is this ? I thought VDR is running as a background task - as lircd does too. How can it be affected by closing the X session ? Is someone facing the same problem ? Thanks for any hint....

Well, *the* official document is, of course, ISO-13818-1 (MPEG-2 Systems). Unfortunately, the MPEG-2 standard does not define how *multiplexing* has to be done, but rather define how *demultiplexing* and decoding of MPEG streams works. For that purpose, a detailed model of such a decoder, called System Target Decoder (STD), is descibed (really two of them, one for TS and one for PS). This description is quite involved, and further obfuscated by the fact that some buffer and timing constants depend on the MPEG "profile" and "level". Usually the MPEG "main profile at main level" is used, which is suitable for broadcasting and consumer equipment, but for HDTV or studio requirements one may use other profiles/levels. An MPEG stream is muxed "right" if it can be properly decoded by the STD. Johannes PS: No, I haven't read the MPEG standard too closely. Don't ask me for details. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

I discussed this before on this list. The problem is clocking the data through the module because your PCMCIA adapter is not likely to support this in hardware. One would have to do the data valid bit toggling and polling in software. A fast PC should be able to do that for a single 5 MBit channel. > could the metzler-brothers (if we need it) release some information > (if not code) from the arm firmware, that handles this normally? Code or information from the ARM firmware definitely not. We are writing our own implementation of such code but I don't know if and under which conditions we will be releasing it.

After that, the sound was completely gone and did not return for the rest of the movie. Can this be explained with the inevitable multiplexing problems Marcus described in an earlier post?

I can hardly imagine that it would be a VDR bug, since VDR simply shovels the data it gets from the driver into the file. It does look at the data to find the frame boundaries, but once it has syncronized, no data is dropped. So I would assume either a sound failure on the ZDF side - or a driver problem.

Right, i guess that application get's send some signal (not a vdr-failure then), you can check by making some code into vdr's signal handler. But anyway - i can do that without problems (vdr running in console, as well as startet from withing xterm as daemon or by inittab, Xserver killing and many more).

I checked the recording again - there is no sound whatsoever until its very end. I had programmed some reserve time after the movie, so my recording goes all the way to 04:40:01. One would assume that the ZDF people would notice such a problem within almost two hours. Hundreds of people would have called them, even that late at night. So I guess we can almost certainly rule out a sound failure on the ZDF side. If this is a driver bug, I wonder if the other sound problems will go away at the same time when it gets fixed....

I am planning on doing an "emergency restart" in case the video data stream breaks. But this - as well as any other new features - will have to wait until I have fully adapted VDR to the NAPI. The final problem here, as mentioned in other messages, is the multiplexing of the separate video and audio streams...

Oh yes, it did! Early versions of VDR recorded the so called AV_PES format that was delivered by the driver by default back then. Starting with version 0.70, VDR records the PS/PES format.

I have gone back top VHS recording, really cannot use the driver in its current form professionally... audio gets out of sync, interruptions in pic / sound, sometimes it just hangs... I gave up. Is that Nokia thing with a harddisk on the market? does it really work? Is there ANY configuration / card on the market that actually makes a perfect recording? I do not understand al this multiplex stuff, all I need is the original sound and vision all undisturbed and in sync. I think first priority should be reliability, forget al the 'special features' If it does not do the basic recording it is of no use. And I think it is not a vdr problem, but a driver problem. Also I think the new API does not show any sort of improvement atm. Running the test routines well, I just gave up.

I'll play around with it on the weekend, nice to have a starting point now :-) How about the encoding time, is it somehow comparable with the advanced PC-Tools ( the free tmpeg or the *notatall* free cee ) ? One problem ( from reading your manual swiftly ) seems to be that you have to cut the video into pieces by vdr before you start encoding, normally you want to do so before starting to encode ( on pc side with pvacut ) or to cut the 1 file output mpeg file. The normal method implies to get 2 or 3 SVCD's in good Quality, so you want a cutting that divides the movie in 2 or three equal parts, i even like to do an overlapping cut ( like many channels do for commercials, repeat the last 10 seconds of the movie, so you can get *in* again ).

I checked the recording again - there is no sound whatsoever until its very end. I had programmed some reserve time after the movie, so my recording goes all the way to 04:40:01. One would assume that the ZDF people would notice such a problem within almost two hours. Hundreds of people would have called them, even that late at night. So I guess we can almost certainly rule out a sound failure on the ZDF side. If this is a driver bug, I wonder if the other sound problems will go away at the same time when it gets fixed....

In both cases you can use cat /dev/ost/video or tuxplayer to record. Since the official behavior of the API would be to switch of any filters when there is no application using the device, that is the only way to do that with modular programs. The other way would be to have an application which tunes and records, which would be less modular.

Then I guess the cause why my test with the 0.5 vdr worked was indeed the different file format ! Okay guys, all we need is a "on the fly" ps2av_pes and an linux-ported PVAstrumento afterwards - on the fly too of course :-) But of course this way we are able to produce 100% sync MPGs, which can be cut and archived afterwards... Does anyone know how to link two VDR files together ? Can i simply concat them binary ? And is the resulting file exactly the same as broadcasted ? Nothing more nothing less ? Or are some frames missing ? Then this would be fine, because cutting out advertises e.g. with M2Edit under windows can be done frame accurate - but you need 1 input file not 2 or three... btw: Klaus: Did Wiljo respond something to your request ?

The TS was fine, so there are either some errors in the ts_to_pes I use in tuxplayer, or the transformation from TS to PES results in the known problems (large PES are not as bad in a TS as they are in a PS/PES stream). It probably is the latter, so I will have to do some remuxing in tuxplayer. This may be easier, because if the TS has the right muxing, but only very long PES that destroy it if one waits until one has the entire PES before writing it, you only have to set a maxmum PES length and than write the smaller PES before the larger one is finished. Have a look at this example: TS: A1 V1 V1 V1 A1 V1 V1 V1 A2 V1 V1 V1 A2 V2 V2 V2 PES now: |A1 A1| V1 V1 V1 V1 V1 V1 V1 V1 V1| A2 A2 ... possible audio buffer underflow APES VPES APES better PES: |A1 A1| V1 V1 V1 V1 V1| A2 A2 | V1 V1 V1 V1| ... better APES VPES APES VPES I did something similar in the driver for creating the TS for the dvr device, so that the results are better. Of course, this works much better, if you have the original TS (budget card).

It can also play .vob files from disk. I think it would be a good idea to put vdr and dvdplayer together in one package. The only disadvantage with dvdplyer (currently) is that you have to downgrade to kernel 2.2.18 and dvb-0.8.2. I dont know what has changed since then but maybe one of the developers of dvb has an answer.;-) Here are my experiences with dvdplayer, which I also sent to Matjaz: Using kernel 2.2.18 and dvb-0.8.2 (dvb-cvs does'nt compile) dvdplayer works really fine. With kernel 2.4.2 and dvb-cvs (or dvb-0.8.2) I get the following results: 1. playing normal : dvdplayer -a 0 -c -f /dvd/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob (the option -j n does'nt change anything) Result: video and sound disturbances 2. playing without sound: dvdplayer -c -f /dvd/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob Result: video is ok 3 playing without video: dvdplayer -a 0 -v -c -f /dvd/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob Result: sound is ok 4. playing different DVDs, no or minor change Ernst On 18 Apr, Bernhard Baptist wrote: > > Even one question is left: > Is there a way to share the DVB card between the VDR and an > DVD(VCD)-Player Prog, or is there a easy way to play DVD's on the VDR > BOX ?

Its fantastic !! I was interested on combination of PC and Video since several jears but all with less succsess. All the software which is coming with the cards is shit. (Windows). And then, I had read i the CT about the VDR project and decided try. Ok, the installation was quite horrible (Iam an absolute Linux Newbie). And this was just another thing than simply clicking "setup.exe" under Windows, altough Iam not affraid about command-prompt - my first PC was running on DOS2.X . --- Programms are distributed as Source Code -> OK maybe this would be usefull --- make, make config, make insmod -> haaaa ??? whats that ?? --- dealing around in the kernel -> brrrrr, never think about that --- going to the makefile and look whats wrong -> uups , no plug and play ;-) --- searching for missing additional packages which had to be installed bevore -> why couldnt that be documented --- etc. ect. -> it was really hard to do this with absolute no linux-knowledge BUT THEN, after 4 days of computer hacking (and an angry girlfriend) it works, even with lirc !!! Whaooo !!! Its excelent, exact what Iam looking for, and its free !!!! SO ONCE MORE: MANY THANKS FOR IT to all who had worked on it. Iam happy. Even one question is left: Is there a way to share the DVB card between the VDR and an DVD(VCD)-Player Prog, or is there a easy way to play DVD's on the VDR BOX ?

In the beginning I did some tests with FlaskMPEG/bbMPEG and DVD2AVI/TMPGEnc before the discovering the MJPEG project with its modified MPEG encoder. Even though I did not do any formal timing my impression is that the transcoding time is about the same (at least in the same order of magnitude). The MPEG encoder from MJPEG does include a lot of performance optimizations such as MMX, 3DNOW etc., so it should already be quite good. Additionally you could play with the options - the ones that I have been using try to optimize quality at the cost of speed. > One problem ( from reading your manual swiftly ) seems to be that you have > to cut the video into pieces by vdr before you start encoding, normally you > want to do so before starting to encode ( on pc side with pvacut ) or to cut > the 1 file output mpeg file. > The normal method implies to get 2 or 3 SVCD's in good Quality, so you want > a cutting that divides the movie in 2 or three equal parts, i even like to > do an overlapping cut ( like many channels do for commercials, repeat the > last 10 seconds of the movie, so you can get *in* again ). >-- End of excerpt from Nils Heidorn I know that it is a gross hack to use VDR like that, but it was just the easiest way for me. If you come up with a different method I would be happy to include that in my HOWTO. The VDR method has the deficiency that the MPEG system stream is only cut into equal length files which have a different number of frames and therefore playback time. This leads to varying stream sizes after transcoding, since the MPEG audio has constant bitrate anyway and the mpeg2enc video encoder also produces a quite constant bitrate on the average (even though I use variable bitrate encoding for the video). A solution to cut the .vdr files that produced files with equal length in time would be preferable. The overlapping features also is a good idea.

So i don't want to affront anyone ( specially not Klaus and Matjaz ) with this mail .... but i have an idea ,-) How about to combinate all single pojects around DVBs in one framework. The functionality is implemented in PlugIns (Modules) loaded dynamicaly at runtime by the framework Projects i would like to see in the Framework: - vdr - dvdplayer - lcdproc (i hate patching) - kvdr - ... (i know ... many more) The idea: A framework supporting pure-virtual interfaces (C++?) for items: - A Movie - Main-Menu - Timer - Devices (DVD, CD, Links, ...) All projects will be reimplemented as modules (Plug-In) for the framework. Each item can support own interfaces. So new Plug-in can be: - Input (keyboard, lirc, none) -> no problem for daemon-mode -> support for different irc : a litte one (like now), a big one with more function-buttons (for direct-access of the record-list, ...) - Commands per item -> create mpeg and burn a cd on a item - Different Sceen-Displays -> if you see a humax-screen-display ... some features i would like to see in vdr too ,-) -> higher screen-resolution in menues Open for new reimplementations: - Storing of records I would like to store all repeating records in a own submenu - .... Advantage: - From User-View : one package .. expandable by new PlugIns -> How about a nice configurator ? - Different implementations of a feature is possible (see Commands, Display, Record-Storing) - Developer can access a stable framework for their idea and must not start from the beginning - Stable-PlugIns for creating SVCD, .... Disadvantage: - A lot of work - specially Klaus and Matjaz must like the idea and support it (sorry to all other not named here !) I am developing commercial software for serveral years know, so my opinion is: a dynamic module-concept would be better for furthur features and development. I would support the new framework development. I hope you understand my idea (ok ... my english is not the best ... i know 8-) ). Hoping for positiv replies...
