Jacques Vidrine:
 |I'm attempting to create an MPEG using FXTV.  Unfortunately, I
 |seem to be having some problem with the audio.  FXTV runs and
 |captures video and audio to a AVraw file.  After the capture,
 |running the conversion script produces a zero-length AUDraw file,
 |which eventually causes the script to blow up sox or mpeg_musicin.
 |
 |This seems to happen in all capture modes. 
 |
 |Has anyone else seen this?  Or perhaps someone has a cookbook
 |for capturing video?

Are you running Fxtv 0.47?  

 |BTW, capturing _just_ video or _just_ audio seems to work just
 |fine. *shrug*


Hmmmm.  It does sound mighty suspicious :-)  Please check your IRQ
assignments and make sure your motherboard isn't assigning your TV card the
same IRQ as your soundcard.  In fact, just post the output of:

      dmesg | egrep 'irq|drq'

If that's it, make sure you have your soundcard's IRQs reserved for the ISA
bus in your motherboard BIOS.
