video capture card
 

Hi everybody ,

I have a problem with my video capture card, it's a captivator PCI from Videologic.

When I want to install it with the insmod command it doesn't match.

==> bttv0: using: BT848A( *** UNKNOWN/GENERIC **) [card=0,autodetected]

So I would like to use the card option from the insmod command like following :

insmod bttv card=x

But the problem is that I don't know the number I have to write at the place of the x.

I have a list of card but I don't see mine !!!

Could someone help me and give me the number I should try ???

thanks

if it's not on there just try a load.

rmmod bttv; insmod bttv card=#; xawtv

just keep running that, increasing the number each time till you get a good'un. that's if you use xawtv of course...

You can also have a look in the bttv documentation which you will find if you have the kernel source installed. Look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/ for the CARDLIST and Cards files.

More problem than before............... :confused:

I have fund the number of my card and it's perfect but know when I try to launch xawtv or vic (video conferencing tool ) I only see a blue screen .

I looked at the xawt faq but it didn't help me , so if someone know what I can do to remove the blue screen, it would be nice .

:scratch:

erm, how can it be perfect if you only get a blue screen???

try setting the right frequency table, colours etc... just like you normally would anywhere else.

Hi,

Well I'd like very much to set the right frequency table and colours ..... but what does it mean I am a :newbie: !!!

What I just know to do is to set the Port ( Televesion, Composite, S-Video ), the Signal ( NTSC, PAL, SECAM )
and that's all for the transmition using vic.

And for Xawtv I know nothing ...:study:
