This looks more like a mplayer problem.
Try "mplayer -vo x11 foo.mpeg"

This does the same as without the options. Plays a black video clip.
VLC plays it the same.
Anything else you think I should try?

With the same card and cables I can capture and play video on Windows XP
using Hauppauge WinTV v6 software.
On Linux I can't capture and/or can't play.
Windows VLC plays the video I captured on XP with WinTV v6, but videos
captured on Linux are black.
Linux mplayer configuration may be wrong. GUI mplayer gives following error
when I try to play a file.
"Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device."
In /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf:
#vo=xv
I tried vo=xv and vo=x11. No help.

Have no idea what I am doing.
Thanks for your interest.
Peter

I'll try and look at this tonight. I've been away on travel.

However, I only have a PVR-350 and PVR-150MCE and not a PVR-250
though.

You must have better things to do. I'm going to take a break. Today is
manual labor day.
Thanks,
