[vlc] Re: Broken video with rawdv and firewire connection

[John Roberts]

As another data point - I was able to get dvgrab to pipe rawdv directly into
VLC (stdin) and it seems to work find.  It's only when I try to use VLC
directly with the dv/rawdv interface which causes a great deal of
pauses/stutters.

Jean-Paul,

If you need SSH access to the box - let me know.  You can send email
directly to jroberts at windwardcg.com and I can forward you the login info.

Thanks again,

-John

For the heck of it - I installed a CreativeLabs sound card in the box and
now I don't get the /dev/dsp errors and errors saying it can't deal with
missing audio.  BUT - same issue - no changes.

Thanks for the help in this.

I've tried the --no-audio and no difference.

I've placed the latest log file (with the --dv-cache and the --no-audio
options) at:

http://vlc.pastebin.com/759632

Also - if you would like SSH access to the box I can provide that as well.

Thanks again,

-John

add --noaudio to the commandline and try again.

I would like the entire logfile not just a part of it. Put the complete
logging output on vlc.pastebin.com and print the link in the e-mail.
