I used a more recent version last for days doing seekable timeshift mpeg playback with mplayer on some test kernels before I fetched the necessary upgrade for nvrec. 40 minutes lavrec (mjpegtools-1.6.1.90-1.rpm) 720x576, 16bit stereo and mjpeg gives me lost frames zero, ins/del 1996/000 and audio errors:000 and it is fine. (Unmuted with v4lctl because there seem to be issues or I didn't get it for now) Mp4live (mpeg4ip) did a/v synced recordings with the 1x version of the driver on 2.4.19 and that is now one year ago and of course I saw xawtv and streamer working. To come back to your own recommendation, what card brand you have? Did you find users of the same card with the same unsufficient results? Greetings Hermann
