Hello, and thanks to the authors for their selfless contributions to the
ivtv project.
I have compiled and installed ivtv-0.10.6 for the Linux 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5
kernel (the most recent available in CentOS 5.3) for the Hauppauge PVR-500
card and am having problems with system crashes with a 1 GHz CPU and 1.5 GB
memory with 750 MB of unused swap space. The ivtv information required
follows:

The RCA composite-video output is from an NTSC VCR output tuned to channel
3, so:
$ ivtv-tune -c3; v4l2-ctl -F
/dev/video0: 61.250 MHz
Frequency: 980 (61.250000 MHz)
Then when testing according to the recommendations, the crash comes:
$ cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg
... crashes the system after a very brief period. Upon reboot I find:
$ ls -l test.mpg; file test.mpg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 me me 10092544 Oct 9 15:48 test.mpg
test.mpg: MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex
If I view the test.mpg file with lives, kino, xine etc. it consists of
random coloured snow on a black background.
The same crash occurs with:
src/ivtv-0.10.6/test]$ ./mpeg-read-test | tee crash.txt

000095/6/0008192: Fri Oct 9 17:06:16 2009

What do I need to do to get this working, please? I feel I've done my
"homework", yet am still meeting serious dificulties.
Thank you for your considerations.
