[vdr] analogtv segfault

[Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de>]

Hello

I'm trying to install and run vdr with the analogtv plugin. The system is 
a Debian Sarge on a dual PII 400MHz with 128MB RAM + 256MB swap. The card 
is a WinTV Express from Hauppauge with a BT878, Kernel 2.6.9. I've 
downloaded libdvb-0.5.4.tar.gz (also tried with libdvb-0.5.5), 
rte-09sep04.tar.bz2, vdr-1.2.6.tar.bz2, vdr-analogtv-0.9.36.tar.bz2, 
patched and installed libdvb (tried first with 0.5.5, then downgraded to 
0.5.4 and recompiled vdr), patched and compiled vdr. When I start it with 
-Panalogtv, it segfaults after printing 

ap400:/home/lyakh/video4linux/vdr-1.2.6# vdr -Panalogtv

Please, help.

Actually, I want to use this card to convert analog video-tapes from a 
camcorder to VCDs / DVDs for following viewing on a normal DVD-player or 
a PC. Is my setup at all suitable for this purpose (after the segfault is 
fixed)? Will the quality be good (enough)? Sorry, I am quite new to video 
processing and have very little understanding about all this. I have to 
decide until Saturday whether to keep this card or to return it and get 
something more suitable, if price permits.

Hardware works. I can watch TV / video with xawtv.

Thanks in advance
Guennadi
