<P>This is just a collection of what I believe are the most common
|
|
questions people might have. Give me more feedback and I will
|
|
turn this section into a proper FAQ.

<LI>Q:Why don't I get audio when playing back recorded programs?
|
|
<P>A: This could be due to several things. In order for audio recording to work,
|
|
you must have the tuner card send output to the 'line-in' on your sound card.
|
|
You must also use the mixer to enable the line-in on the sound card (if you hear
|
|
sound while recording the show, it is probably enabled). I used to have my tuner
|
|
card sound sent to my stereo receiver instead of the sound card, which was why I
|
|
didn't get sound. Finally, it may be that the sound was record properly, but your
|
|
sound device is in use by another program (esd, licq, xmms, etc).

|
|
<LI>Q: Why is my video very jumpy?
|
|
<P>A: This may be due to a slow CPU. I currently haven't determined the exact
|
|
requirements for recording with this method, I'm hoping user feedback will help
|
|
me figure out what CPU is indeed required. I have a Duron 700 that seems to work
|
|
fine, but I've heard that people with a 200-500mhz processor are unable to get
|
|
smooth video.

|
|
<LI>Q: Why is the audio/video out of sync?
|
|
<P>A: This may be due to an incorrect FPS setting for your video type. For NTSC
|
|
you will want to use 29.97. For PAL you will want to use 25. I still don't
|
|
get perfect audio/video synchronization - but I can live with it. Hopefully this
|
|
will improve over time.
