Centos withMPEG-4 / H.264 Support with DVR card.

metallica1973 · 02-12-2011, 12:25 PM

I have a dvr card that is a Softlogic 6x10 line of MPEG-4 codec card that uses mpeg 4. This is the driver that they recommend that I use but it is for ubuntu. Is there a Centos 5.5 equivalent?

this is the card:

This is what appears in lspci:

PHP Code:



03:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Unknown device 9413:6010

I found this on the net:

http://elrepo.org

and installed

PHP Code:



kmod-video4linux-PAE-0.0-7.20100410.2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

kernel-ml-PAE-2.6.37-0.3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

I get this error when I run a modprobe budget_av:

PHP Code:



modprobe budget_av

I think I see what happened:

PHP Code:



 uname -r
2.6.18-194.32.1.el5PAE

cat /boot/grub/grub/conf

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

        initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5PAE.img

        initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.el5PAE.img

So I should change the default to 0, and nada?

It still doest see the card

PHP Code:



03:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Unknown device 9413:6010
        Subsystem: Unknown device 9413:6010
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
        Memory at fddf0000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K]

What package would I need to get this going?

I have installed these 3 packages but still nothing:

PHP Code:



kmod-video4linux-PAE-0.0-7.20100410.2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm 
kernel-ml-PAE-devel-2.6.37-0.3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm 
kernel-ml-PAE-2.6.37-0.3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
