Hi, I have a Hauppauge PVR-HD which works but creating an h264 ts stream from a set HD component inputs and does quite a nice job of it.
The ts stream is available on /dev/video0 and a simple cat /dev/video0
file.ts will create a watchable high quality dump..
I have got this working with freevo (after a little hacking) but would prefer to get the input into vdr as I can then watch it around the house through streaming.
Using vdr-iptv I can get some of the way, but not all of it.. Playing around with different options I get either jerky video or ffmpeg just stops transcoding after a few seconds, and I'm not sure why...
I can put a 2 minute ts stream somewhere if it would help but I think it will decode a file before decoding from /dev/video0

Then it just freezes...
Any ideas?
