I hope I'm not covering a problem here that has been covered already.
A couple of days ago, I thought I solved the problem I have now, but
apparently is a "resilient" problem...
On Wednesday, I did an apt-get upgrade on my machine, putting the
packages to the latest version. In the case of xawtv that is 3.66
I am using 2.4.13 (patched for v4l2) and a Avermedia98 TV card
(bttv2, bt848).
The problem is the following:
When I start recording (M$ avi, 16bit mono, 44100 Hz, 320x240, JFIF),
my memory (512 MB) starts dropping till about 4-3 Meg, and normally
stays there (I guess that's normal behaviour).
Sometimes, it runs completely in a mess, killing my xawtv (but not the
sound) and stopping the recording. I don't think it's really a hard-
ware issue, since this worked for about a month without any problems,
and it even worked for a couple of days with this config (first not,
then some fiddling with configs, then again, and now not).
I assume this is an xawtv problem, so perhaps I should direct this to
the author, but since I did an update, I cannot be completely sure:
Has anyone had this problem or anything related with the new sw?
