Is there a workaround maybe a patch for the SB PRO > driver ? Or maybe it's better to use MS sound system ? mpg123 _requires_ a soundcard capable of playing 16 bit stereo data at 44.1 kHz. Even when using the lower quality options, the data sent to the sound card is still 44.1 kHz. The purpose of that option is to reduce CPU load, not to enable playing with older soundcards. For the same reason, the -m (mono) option still produces stereo output (with both channels being the same). If you need to convert the output data to 22 kHz, 8 bit, mono or whatever, you should use another tool, for example sox(1). By the way, all of that is explained in the manual page. ;-) Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18-61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de) From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Jun 16 16:24:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA08582 for multimedia-outgoing; Mon, 16 Jun 1997 16:24:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Ilsa.StevesCafe.com (Ilsa.StevesCafe.com [205.168.119.129]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA08500 for ; Mon, 16 Jun 1997 16:23:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Ilsa.StevesCafe.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by Ilsa.StevesCafe.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA07767; Mon, 16 Jun 1997 17:22:52 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <199706162322.RAA07767@Ilsa.StevesCafe.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0gamma 1/27/96 From: Steve Passe To: Randall Hopper cc: Yixin Jin , multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Fxtv In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 16 Jun 1997 17:05:36 EDT." <19970616170536.34941@ct.picker.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 16 Jun 1997 17:22:52 -0600 Sender: owner-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, >I think the device driver code has something wrong with read/write address >of Hauppauge wincast/TV card, which I use.

Saying this it occurs to me that my patch of several days ago is probably too simplistic to work if indeed they changed the addresses, as using the XXX_OVVERRIDE defines will use the addresses that aren't being probed in the first place (ie the cause of the probe failure). The bottom line here is that someone needs to study output from both sign.c and eeprom.c from these newer cards, and the older cards, and then determine something unique for each. from this "uniqueness" the probe code can be modified to recognize all the cards out there. be aware that the eeprom contents vary in some fields from an instance of a particular model to another of the same model only a few numbers away in the serial# order.

Ok, my mistake. I had to recompile vat with the sound driver that you sent me way back, which may have changed since then??? Anyway, after moving guspnp7's soundcard.h and ultrasound.h to /usr/include/machine vat compiles and indeed the volume slider works now! However, the compile doesn't proceed clean: /usr/include/sys/ioccom.h redefine a bunch of constants in soundcard.h, things like IOCPARM_MASK, IOC_VOID, IOC_OUT, IOC_IN, _IO, _IOR, _IOW and _IOWR. How do I clean this up?

So it is die or swim with 3.0-current. :-( Would this be pretty much the situation with the bt848 driver as well? Jim Lowe's jmix app also doesn't compile clean because of the above. And it gets very confused when run and doesn't display any mixer controls at all. > Not sure what the issue is with rat given that I don't have the > sources.

Well, I had the same experience with HRC. I used the link off the BT848 home page with the tuner frequencies as a starting point: http://gemma.apple.com/dev/technotes/tn/tn1012.html#RTFToC4 (I used the frequencies listed under "US Cable Channels") I believe the cable frequencies listed are, in general, about 1.25 off for HRC. (I think if you subtract 1.25, you'll get the right frequency. It could be the other way around, though.) The only exception to that "rule" that I found was that channel 34 was off. I had to sort of search around for the right frequency for it. BTW, I think I went by the "display" channel in the third column rather than the "channel" in the first column for the channel numbers. (so they'd be like the ones my TV and VCR use. Who uses "W+14" anyway?) I created a table of channels and frequencies, and made a little command line tuner program based on freq.c that changed channels for me. The reason I'm being so vague here is that my computer is boxed up (I'm moving) and I won't be able to get to it for a couple of weeks. If y'all are still in the dark about HRC frequencies in a week or two, let me know and I'll forward out my frequency table. (and the slightly modified version of freq.c as well..)

Virtually no load for direct video mode, and surprisingly little load even in ximage mode. And a few things (see the ChangeLog for details). Be sure to check out the sample clips, and keep in mind the 30fps clip was captured on an IDE disk if you can believe it, so you SCSI folks will be doing even higher res at the same rate. A few notes about the new features. There are some new build- and run-time dependencies (libtiff, sox, mpeg_encode, etc.). See the README for details on building, installing, and running this version and the utilities it calls. Also, 0.43 delivers on a slightly hacked version of the bt848 driver. FPS adjustment didn't work with previous versions, but with this version it at least works for single-field. The Bt848's FPS control is used both for throttling the video stream while capturing to disk as well as for displaying continuous video on the screen. As always, feel free to add things into fxtv and mail new features/ comments/bug reports/etc. anytime. There's plenty of room for video capture optimization and support enhancements (what's there now is really just first-cut). A few of the many things that still can be done to to beef it up include: - interleaved capturing to multiple disks - simultaneous audio and video capturing - capturing 24-bit instead of 16-bit if there's enough disk bandwidth available - capturing YUV (instead of RGB and converting later), and - making the "Optimize" algorithm more intelligent :-) It'll also be worth trying capture to an LFS once John Dyson gets it put back together (seems like I read that he's working on it). Should give better throughput. Incidentally, I did try capturing to raw hard disk devices and found I got a higher consistent FPS throughput (i.e. no "hickups") writing to a UFS, so I didn't put in support for capturing to device files in 0.43. Easy enough to hack in though if somebody wants to play with it. Have fun, and let me know how it goes!

I got it to where it seems to work OK for single-field, but for double-field, it's still hosed (it didn't work for either case with the old driver). It could sure use the eye of someone more familiar with the Bt848 than I am. To reproduce the problem, run Fxtv 0.43 with "fxtv -fps 1" in direct video mode, and then zoom the window. One of the fields tracks at 1 fps, but the other still cruises at 30fps. My hacked version is up on the fxtv page at: http://multiverse.com/~rhh/fxtv/bt848.970604.tgz. About this version. It's a small mod to the 970424 driver. When running at the default of 30 frames per second, it's effectively identical to the 970424 driver. With fps < 30, it's got some fixes to work right at least for single-field (fxtv height <= 240 pixel rows). Duel-field (rows > 240 && <= 480) is still busted as I described. Also, this modified version turns off temporal decimation for CAP_SINGLEs (freeze frame) so apps can get a good freeze without having to muck with the FPS setting in the driver.

Do you mean that after recording, the on-screen video doesn't start going again? I'm pretty sure it does if you're running direct video, but for ximages mode (what I believe you're running), you're definitely right there. I'll look at fixing it. Some of the tricks I had to pull to get an inner event loop to work have the side effect of masking timer events, which ximages mode depends on. The right fix is "not" to have an inner event loop; it was just a convenience for prototyping. I'll put this on my FIXME list. |the other is that it takes forever for mpeg_encode to complete.. :) Yeah, I know what ya mean. I'm pricing P200MMXs and K6-200s myself :-) But before jumping processors, one thing that will doubtless speed up encoding a great deal is for fxtv to write ppm or eyuv files that mpeg_encode can read directly. With 0.43, it's writing TIFFs and then letting mpeg_encode call "tifftopnm" to convert these to PPMs which it can understand. I'll put this on my list for the next vers. |other than that.. it's really nice... ttyl.. Cool! Glad its working for you.

I then did the following upgrades: - Upgraded to Xfree86 ver 3.3, hoping that the improved Matrox support would be useful. Made no noticeable difference at all. - Upgraded to fxtv-0.43 (and the matching driver version). All the promised improvements seemed to work, particularly the improved CPU utilisation, but other problems remained the same. - Fitted 8Mb RAM upgrade to the Matrox card, leaving Xfree86 configuration unchanged for the time being (ie. no change to mode lines etc.) Everything else still OK, but the video image appears in the wrong place! The video image seems to be displaced by a constant number of pixels to the left of where it should be; with the initial (small) window, only about the right-hand 20% of the image is actually inside the fxtv window, but with a larger window the strip outside the window remains the same width and correspondingly more of the image inside the window. Vertical position remains correct. Other minor problems include: - The AGC appears poor: I need to make continual adjustments to the brightness/contrast controls to keep a good picture (otherwise bright images look 'overexposed', with bright areas becoming pure white, or else 'dark' images become plain black). - Clicking the 'expand/contract' icon on the toolbar when the window is near the bottom right hand corner of the screen always puts part of the image off-screen (with consequent bleep and error messages). I presume this is logic somewhere not taking account of the different size of the PAL/50Hz picture. - Overlapping windows disable the image completely when in direct video mode. I presume this is simply not implemented - or is it specific to the Matrox? - syslog messages such as "bktr0: ioctl: tsleep error 35 1000f0c" Any ideas for tracking down these problems would be gratefully received!

Speak_freely has one process doing the reading and one doing the writing. The one that starts second cannot get /dev/audio because it is busy.
