I had the same trouble with a hauppage bt878 card when it was in a slot which, according to my motherboard manual, shares DMA request signals with an adjacent PCI slot. (slots 4 and 5 on my Asus MB). Is there a bttv or v4l FAQ that this could be added to? I believe the risc_count number is related to the 848/878 chip's inernal RISC microcoded DMA sequencer. I'm guessing that the fact that the risc_count isn't changing means that the card isn't able to accomplish any DMA at all. Incidently, "PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ... ok" means that your application is requesting or taking the default of 625/50 (usually PAL) video, and the card is generating the pixel clock for that rate. If your TV standard is 525/60 (usually NTSC), be sure to explicitly select that option. cheers, Steve -- Steve Tell tell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
