make sure the xvmc box is not checked, better yet make sure the xvmc for via box is checked.

Ah i think they're both checked at the moment, I'll uncheck the first one. Thanks.

that would do it the first one is for nvidia cards, and uses a driver that will not work with any other card and gives that error.

Here's me being a jerkass:

Hmmm.... 1 month of trial and error vs 1 command line call (perl pvr.pl) sure doesn't agree with your statement X. No disrespect intended, you're the most helpful person on this forum bar none, but at some point you're going to have to admit the the PVR-350 rules. The newer ivtv drivers are more stable, fast, and compatible. MPEG-4 support is comming along. Basically it can't be beat for the price.

This is wierd. I unselected the first checkbox and rebooted - still the same problem, then just for a laugh I also unselected the second one and it worked, although it was noticably slow. Is there anything else I need to do to get the xvmc for via to work?

Thanks.

while the script has greatly reduced the difiulty of using the pvr350 I have seen at several post of people using the script and still having problems.

As it currently stands the epia drivers are included and tested before every release, and the pvr350 tvout is not tested at all I do not know of any developers or testers that use the pvr350 tvout, though some have them and testing will resume before the final release of R5.

I have no doubt that the quality of output on the pvr350 is excelent (too many people have said so) it still has it's problems like no xv support as it is not really a video card. It is a real testiment to open source and particular cris kenedy that they've managed to pipe the entire interface to it at all.

"Stable" drivers (0.2.3) don't include xv support but newer 0.3.6 ivtv drivers support xv. I haven't tested this but I've heard people having great results.

** UPDATE **
Verified working with new versions of x-driver. No more shearing with divx or any other codec. You need to upgrade to ivtv 0.3 version that supports it.
