Hi,

	I'm using mjpegtools lavrec to record video from a Hauppauge capture
card (model 405?) with TV-Tuner (2), no radio, composite in, no SVID.

	The issue I'm having is that the sound is muted after a recording
session, but kmix is not showing the line is muted.  If I run v4l-info I get

audio
    VIDIOCGAUDIO
        audio                   : 0
        volume                  : 0
        bass                    : 0
        treble                  : 0

until I do a v4lctl volume 56000 which then sets the volume back.  Is
this a lavrec issue or v4l issue?  xawtv doesn't exhibit this behaviour.

kernel 2.4.18, RedHat 7.3, mjpegtools 1.6.1
US, NTSC video.


	Second question:  What is the highest real picture I can grab from the
bt878 chipset?  When I try 640x480 it grabs but is slower and appears to
be software stretching it.  352x240 does a pretty good job but doesn't
really have enough data to work with for SVCD creation.  I have tried
playing with the gbuffers setting but it doesn't really help and
actually causes xawtv, etc. to take forever to startup/stop when
gbuffers > 8.  I also noticed my gamma settings got messed up on my
Voodoo3 3000 AGP card after setting gbuffers=32.

	Does anyone have a working solution for creating NTSC SVCD's?  I've
googled and not been able to find anything that works yet.

	Thanks,
