Capturing to AVI using streamer
I used to capture video to AVI format using streamer on a single processor system running Fedora Core 4. I would set up streamer to run for 40 minutes - but at a convenient time stop streamer using Ctrl-C (according to the documentation) and the AVI file would be 'wrapped up' nicely. I could take the AVI file to a Windows machine and edit the captured video.
I am now using streamer as before but on a dual processor system running Fedora 9. I get an AVI file but some editing software is unable to find the video stream.
Is this a problem caused by a) the change of hardware or b) the change of software?

Ian,
I'm not familiar with streamer, but your problem could be either hardware or software. Please install mplayer on your Fedora system, run the command 'midentify' on your AVI file, and post the results for us. You may also want to use other software such as XawTV or TVTime on your Fedora system to test the capture hardware as well.

streamer is part of the same bundle as xawtv.
