For the Video guys, Mark?

[Mark Musone]

You unless you have btaudio enabled (most likely not) you need to
connect the audio out of your tv tuner card to  the line-in of your
soundcard..
 
you can only watch tv with sound because the tv tuner card does a
“pssthru” directly to your speakers…it doesn’t go to your CPU (and
therefore it can’t be recorded)
 
in order to record something, you need to pipe sound to the line-in of
your soundcard..
 
IF you already have it going to the line-in of your soundcard, you then
need to make sure that the soundcard settings are setup to
RECORD from line-in. I’m not sure if your using alsa or oss for sound,
but whatever you use to adjust the sound settings,
you should be able to use that to tell it to record from line-in

Ok, I have one for the video guys. I have been getting ALOT of requests
for DVD and AVI's for Linux, that is people want to use there Linux
boxes to create DVD's, AVI's, etc. Just to keep it simple for now, I
would like to limit my question to this,
I have installed an AverTV TV Tuner Card, works great! I have all the
config's the way I think they should be but I probably have something
wrong due to the lack of info in the man page (xawtvrc). Anywho, my
problem is this, I have never been able to create an avi file with the
xawtv program until now, actually works great with very nice capture,
however, I cannot for the life of me get the sound to get recorded. The
sound works great using the TV part of it. I will include a copy of my
~/.xawtv file below.
Also, one thing of note, could be important or at least a clue, I have
to start xawtv with "xawtv -c /dev/video0" instead of just with "xawtv".
I read the man page and it says that /dev/video0 is the default anyway,
so I really don't see why I need to specify the whole thing with the -c
option.
Here is an excerpt from the man page on xawtv (notice how it says that
Xvideo support would be lost, is that why my sound isn't being
recorded?)
‐c, ‐device device
              set video4linux device (default is  /dev/video0).   This
option
              also disables Xvideo support.
              Resource: xawtv.device (string).
Here is the ~/.xawtv file I am using

[global]
freqtab = us-cable
keypad-ntsc = on
fullscreen = 1024 x 768
input = Television
mixer = line
mov-driver = avi
mov-video = rgb24
mov-audio = stereo

[defaults]
norm = ntsc
audio = stereo
capture = grabdisplay

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!!
