Eric, thank you for your suggestions. > Check the utils in the ivtv CVS > (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ivtv/ivtv/ivtv/utils/), > there is a 'ivtvfwextract' tool that could help you. I'm not sure that I used it correctly -- I presume that the HCWAMC.RBF file I'm looking for is the decoder, right? I did this: % ivtvfwextract.pl pvr250_16_21062.exe /etc/pvr/encoder.rbf /etc/pvr/decoder.rbf % cd /etc/pvr % ln -s decoder.rbf HCWAMC.RBF % ln -s decoder.rbf hcwamc.rbf > IIRC you should previously insmod the 'soundcore' module. Thanks, that got rid of a few warnings. Now I get this: % insmod bttv Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-6custom/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-6custom/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg lspci shows: 02:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc: Unknown device 0016 (rev 01) Any suggestions on where to go? I looked on google, read through the documentation, and am at a bit of a loss... Thank you, tom.
