Xv support
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Is there a way to verify that my card supports Xv?

Xawtv works fine with or without the -xv option, but MythTV says that
it cant find Xv support.

run 'xvinfo', look for an I420 or a YV12 entry.

RE: Xv support [ In reply to ]
Is there a way to "shift" the display over (left N number of pixels)? I get
a bunch of "junk" about 40 pixels wide on the left side of the screen when
viewing video, but it doesn't record it (as seen on the preview window).
Re: Xv support [ In reply to ]
Running xvinfo, I do not find I420 or YV12. I'm using
a Diamond V330 (RIVA 128 based) PCI w/S-video out,
video card. Is there something I need to do to get
Xv support, or am I just SOL? If I get a new video
board, how to I make sure that it's got 1) Xv support,
and 2) works well with mythtv?

Re: Re: Xv support [ In reply to ]
I had a Diamond Viper V770 (AGP). I was SOL. The card was good for me
on most apps but there were always small incompatabilities, even in
windows. I tried the latest NVidia drivers to no avail. Since
DiamondMM is gone so it is really difficult to get support for this
card. So I bit the bullet and bought a MSI Geforce 4MX 440 with video
in and out. I'm not using the video in just yet; I'm still using my
hauppauge winTV, but overall the card has behaved with the NVidia drivers.

In general, from what I've read in this group, a cheap NVidia Geforce
generallly works well. You can also visit
http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status.html or
http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html to check your card per Xfree86.
Other than that, buy your new card at a place with a generous return
policy. ;)

Check the online myth-tv FAQ and the message board. There is currently
a thread going on about system components. you can easily do a search
of the mailing list using google search with "site:snowman.net" in the
search string excluding """'s of course.

Re: Re: Xv support [ In reply to ]
Thanx for the pointers, I poked around the xfree86, but
didn't run across the card list. Oddly, my Diamond v330
does show on that list. Maybe I'm using the wrong driver
so I'll check that out tonight. I had thought about swapping
out the v330 for my V770 Ultra. Thanks for saving me that
effort ;).

BTW, the windoze drivers (old) do exist on the diamondmm/sonicblue
web page at:
http://www.diamondmm.com/support/diamond/default.asp?menu=support&submenu=Legacy_Graphics

I've not had any problems with my V330, or my V770 Ultra
under win2k or 98se (my game boot ;)
