Ubuntu and AverMedia DVD EZMaker USB Gold

[Jorge Cabrera]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make an "AverMedia DVD EZMaker USB Gold" work with Ubuntu 
(tried in a computer with 9.04 and other two with 9.10) with a Sony EVI 
D70P Camera. I installed the linux drivers from AverMedia and when I 
connect the device the system shows the following message when i run dmesg:

[69302.964025] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and 
address 6
[69303.637332] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[69303.860132] C038 registered V4L2 device video0[video]
[69303.860160] C038 registered V4L2 device vbi0[vbi]
[69303.860440] C038 registered ALSA sound card 2

Problem is that when I connect the camera it doesn' work, tried with 
cheese, gstreamer-properties, camorama and always get the same error:

libv4l2: error getting pixformat: Invalid argument

I tried connecting the camera with s-video and composite video with the 
same result. Funny thing is that I get the same error without connecting 
the camera so I guess it's just a problem with the AverMedia device. 
Works well on Windows.

I've been reading a lot on this but still have no clues. Has anyone got 
this type of device working under linux? should I use some other driver?

I would really appreciate any help.

Cheers,

Hi there, just gessing... Could you try the drivers at linuxtv.org
instead and see what happens?(unistall the avermedia ones before)
Either clone a repo or grab this:
 http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.bz2

By the way, this list is deprecated, the new one is at
linux-media@vger.kernel.org

cheers

Try using the v4lctl command. Something like

v4lctl setinput Composite1

will do. You can replace "Composite1" with other names like Television
etc. The manpage has more information.

Hello again,

I was wrong here, the driver works, the device works great but what's 
going on is that it uses the tuner as the default input, when I run 
mplayer with input=1 (composite video) or input=2 (s-video) it works good:

mplayer tv:// -tv input=1:device=/dev/video0

But this isn't good enough because cheese and camorama and flash use the 
default input. How can I set up default input to composite video or 
s-video? Should I add something to the options that the Avermedia kernel 
module uses?

I would appreciate any help,

Cheers
