Hi champ,
In u'r mail to "video4linux-list" subjected "Multi-port video
card
support" u have specified as follows.
" Video devices are split up like Lamar said..
/dev/videoN (0-3). I've used port 0 and 1 with full motion (at
352x288 and 640x480) with no problems.Another nice thing about
this
setup, though I have not tested it, while "motion" is using
/dev/video0 and /dev/video1, I _think_ I can use port 2 and 3
with
other applications without interfering with motion (ie - not
conflicting - device busy.. etc). "
I have similar problem. I am using Xawtv to view TV. It reads
from
"/dev/video0". Xawtv records video streams in "avi" format. And
then
we have to convert it into "mpeg". What I want is to record
video
streams directly into "mpeg". So I used FFMPEG to record video
streams. It also uses "/dev/video0". When I run FFMPEG in
parallel
with XAWTV "device or resource busy" error occurs. XAWTV uses
"/dev/video0" and when I execute FFMPEG, it also tries to read
"/dev/video0" which results in aforesaid error.I tried creating
a
symbolic link "/dev/video0" and made FFMPEG to use it. It fails
to
work out.
ffmpeg -vd /dev/video0 /root/samp.mpg.
What i want is to visualize "xawtv" and record video streams
using
"ffmpeg" simultaneously. How to accomplish this ? Is it possible
to
make the video input available at both /dev/video0 and /dev/video1
?
So that I can make FFMPEG to use "/dev/video1" and let XAWTV use
the
default /dev/video0.
I am using bttv based "Pixel View PlayTV Pro" Tv Tuner card
(BT878)
and kernel 2.4.18-14.
With Regards,
S.Suriya Mohan.
