[MPlayer-users] Hauppauge/Conexant composite input problems

[Mike Williams]

Hi guys,

Sorry if this is off topic, but I hope it is, slightly :)

I've been trying to record the ouput from a small black and white camera, with 
a Hauppauge tv card and mencoder.
The camera has a scart socket output, and I've added a scart to composite 
adaptor.
So far I can watch and hear the output when connected via the scart socket, 
and 3 phono composite, directly to a TV. Haven't yet tried audio (not too 
fussed about that), so, I can watch the output in Windows, and watch the 
output in tvtime (badly), but I can't get anything with mplayer/mencoder.

The card is a wintv-go using the newer conexant cx88 chipset, with RF and 
single phono composite video in.
I'm using 2.6.7 with the latest v4l2 patches.

The command lines I've been using are:
mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:input=2:device=/dev/v4l/video0:norm=PAL tv://
Changing the input and appending numbers to tv://, and trying to specify the 
output size.
Input 2 is Composite1, input 3 S-Video.

The best I've gotten is the top half of the picture is very very faintly snowy 
(but mildly coloured), with the rest plain black. If you weren't looking too 
closely, you'd only see a black screen.

TvTime gives basically the same output on both composite and s-video.

I'm using mplayer 1.0pre4-3.3.2.

Can anyone help me get this working properly?

Cheers
