Confirmed, even with a higher quality input. It does not seem to matter
whether we use composite or s-video input, but

streamtype=1 up to streamtype=6 followed by "cat /dev/video > out.mpeg"
gives a 0 byte out.mpeg file, no matter how long we try... and
streamtype=7 gives something that mpeg players (mplayer, windows media
player, realplayer with the emc plugin, some windows dvd player) can't play.

If anyone is interested (or wants to help debug), such a file is
available at http://guardian.aart.ch/public/out1.mpg



Are there any sets of module parameters that are known to work?
