Re: [Offtopic] US Television (near Washington D.C.)

Hi!

asking me, could there most channels recieved digital via (DVB) or are 
there only analog signals.

Regards

Marco

mplayer and softdevice

Hi all,

I own an Nova-T and i just build a VDR 1.4.1 on debian testing.
VDR work fine on my 19" monitor Throu Xorg and my Nvidia card, but i 
can't play my videos (divx and others) with mplayer 'cause it didn't 
find a valid DVB card (that's true, it's a soft device).

Do you know wich "-vo" option i had to pass to mplayer for the soft 
device or an other solution ?

Regards.
Cyrille

You can't use MPlayer to output through softdevice's video window.
That's why softplay (http://softdevice.berlios.de/softplay/index.html)
exists. However for your configuration, instead of softdevice and
softplay, I'd recommend vdr-xineliboutput
(http://users.tkk.fi/~phintuka/vdr/vdr-xineliboutput/), which uses
Xine's media playback capabilities to play a wide range of video and
audio files.

Could you be a bit more informative:

What VDR version, which hardware do you use (DVB cards especially),
which distribution.

You probably don't have a FF DVB card, which is the only output device
VDR supports out-of-the-box. Alternatively you can use a supported
MPEG-2 decoder card that has a VDR plugin written for it (such as dxr3,
em84xx or pvr350), or one of the software plugins (vdr-xineliboutput,
vdr-xine, softdevice, ...), that allow output through the graphics card.

2GB limit overcome?

Hi,

How should I prevent vdr to split files in 2 GB files?

Thanks.

John.

VDR is limited to 2Gb by design and cannot process bigger files. 
Allowing large files would require major rewrites to VDR and even 
incompatible changes to the index.vdr format.

If you really want your recording in one large, non-standard PES format 
file, you can just copy all files into one. If you want something like a 
real .mpg file, use a remuxer like ProjectX.

Cheers,

Udo

Re: 2GB limit overcome?

Udo,

I understand your point, but:

> one large, non-standard PES format file

I'm curious: To what standard to the .vdr files adhere to today? I always thought this was nothing but a hard
split at the 2 GB border, especially as the split is by the number of bytes, not by GoP boundaries.

Correct me if I am wrong!

Regards,
Torsten
