List: linux-video Subject: [V4L] BTTV2 ANNOUNCE From: Justin Schoeman <justin () suntiger ! ee ! up ! ac ! za> Date: 2000-08-04 13:28:43 Hi everybody (again), bttv2 is an integration of bttv-v4l2 and bttv-0.7.x, resulting in a v4l2 driver that supports all the cards (I hope) that bttv does. It has been in testing for the last week, or so, and seems to work... Last night it finally survived my stress-testing procedures, which probably means that it is pretty solid. 2 hours of continuos operation, turning preview on and off, with random windows and clips, while turning capture on and off with various capture sizes, and occasionally dumping some videos with read(), with no errors at all! I doubt that it will crash in normal operation. This program has now replaced bttv-v4l2 at the same web site (http://bttv-v4l2.sourceforge.net). If you are currently using bttv-v4l2, I would suggest that you switch to bttv2, as a number of fairly serious bugs have been fixed. Bugs: * radio and vbi are not yet supported, but will hopefully be by Monday. * grabdisplay mode fails in xawtv -> if anybody can help me figure out why, I would appreciate it. All other grabbing apps seem to work though.

That was a really stupid mistake on my behalf (the dummy risc table for video capture was aimed right at physical address 0 - ie the kernel). It should be fixed now in the CVS. Could you please check out bttv2 from the cvs, and see if it works (I don't have a capture card at work to test on).
