[mpeg2] Trying to get Kfir board to run, read 0 byte data

["Niu Ding" <niuding@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I got two BMK Kfir Mpeg2 PCI encoder boards recently, and was unable to make 
them working under Red Hat Linux 7.2.

After loading the modules, I got from /var/log/messages:

Linux video capture interface: v1.00
i2c-core.o: i2c core module
i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module
i2c-core.o: driver SAA7113 registered.

kfir: Found i2c device at: 0x4a
kfir: decoder status=7
kfir: start recording
kfir: Download parameters...kfir: done
eready=00200001

Everything seems Ok, so after that I connected a video source (both NTSC & 
PAL) to the composite input, did the "cat /dev/video0 >test.mpg", I got 0 
byte for the  test.mpg.

When I pressed Ctrl-C, the program terminated and then I saw

eready=00200004

Any idea?

Thanks,

Niu Ding
