Ubuntu and AverMedia DVD EZMaker USB Gold
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. I'm going to try with the drivers at linuxtv.org but I wanted to ask has anyone got this type of device working under linux?
I would really appreciate any help.
Cheers,

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

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.
