[vdr] v4l - DVB TV picture on monitor

[Alexw <alexw@undercover.mine.nu>]

Hello folks,

I am trying to get the tv picture on my monitor. The PC is not fast
enough (266 MHz) to handle the MPG2 decoding in software.
I known that the card is able to use graphic overlay to display the
picture on the monitor. This is quite simple to achieve (normally) using
the v4l interface. But I am unable to get "useful" information. I've
already tried the v4l and v4l2 stuff, the mplayer -tv option with v4l2,
the xawtv suite and the apps/test/video. Today I've discovered that
there is a saa7146_v4l.o module. I am able to load it but this is not
helping me in anyway.

So, how can I display the output of the DVB adapter on the monitor?
(using the overlay capability of the card)?????????

Why do I want the overlay, because it can also display the OSD ;-)


Configuration
DVB 1.3
Driver 2.4.21-pre5-ac3
videodevX from 2002-03-30
MPlayer patch form the Mplayer-user list

Cheers,

Alex
