PCLinuxOS PVR resolution for save (need 720x576 PAL)

[leaf]

Hi
I have question.
How I can change resolution in PCLinuxOS PVR for save new video files?. I need 720x576. Now (if I remember) is always 640×480.
Regards.

I cant find on this page from your link, any information about resolution, in window in this program there aren't any place with resolution. There are bitrate, frames per seconds etc.
I capture video and I need 720x576, because now my pictures is crop.

What are you recording from?

What is its native resolution?

EDIT:
           I had a quick look at the utility .....  /usr/sbin/pclinuxos-pvr .......  and line 198 to 200 seems to be what you are looking for .....

     <button><input file icon="gtk-media-record"></input>
        <label>Record Video</label>
        <action>killall tvtime;let L=$LENGTH*60+1 && timeout $L mencoder tv:// -tv channel=$CHANNEL driver=v4l2:device=$DEVICE:input=0:width=680:height=480:alsa:buffersize=131072 -vf pp=fp lavdeint -ovc lavc -fps $FPS -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=$VBR:vhq:ildct:ilme:mbd=2 lavdeint $FOURCC -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=$AUDIO_BITRATE -o "$HOME/Recordings/`date +%m-%d-%Y-%H%M`.${VBR}kbps.$FILE_EXT" &</action>
      </button>

You could try editing the resolution there to see if it will do as you wish.

I capture from video tape-recorder via video grabber with audio.
Still video is 640x480, but doesn't matter - I did my work in XP. :-/
When I captured in VLC video has 720x576, but sound was bad etc.
Regards, and thanks for Your advice.

Did you make the changes I suggested in my previous post?

I would have expected it to work for you .....

Did you make the changes I suggested in my previous post?
Yes, I did.
I think that it has any union with f4l2, because when I put in terminal "v4l2-ctl -v width=720,height=576", Kdenlive capture as 720x576, (default about 640x480), but unfortunately PCLinuxOS PVR not. Unluckily kdenlive capture too fast (doesn't keep 25), so...
I had to comeback to XP for solution my problem.
Regards.

My last work for capture, was this script...

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
#kdialog --title "VideoDub for analoge TV-CARDS" --msgbox "Welcome to VideoDub !\nThe capture will starts, after closing the preview window!"
#
 NAME=$(kdialog --title "Capture save ..." --getsavefilename $HOME/videos/"capture.avi")
if  [ "$NAME" = "" ]; then
     exit
    else
#
# create video directory
#
        if [ ! -d $HOME/videos ]; then
        mkdir -p "$HOME/videos"
        fi
#
# Information
#
    kdialog --title "VideoDub" --msgbox "The capture can you exit with \n\nCTRL+c\n\!"
#
# Audio and Video capturing
#
    arecord -f cd -t wav $NAME.wav & xterm -e mencoder tv:// -v -tv driver=v4l2:width=704:height=576:input=3:device=/dev/video0 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg:aspect=4/3 -aspect 4:3 -noautoexpand -nosound -o $NAME
    killall arecord
#xterm -e mencoder -tv driver=v4l2:width=704:height=576:input=3:alsa tv:// immediatemode=0 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg:aspect=4/3 -aspect 4:3 -o $NAME
#
# Information
#
    kdialog --title "VideoDub" --msgbox "The capture is stored in $HOME/videos/$NAME !"
#
fi
Long time ago, when i wrote it...

Good luck

Daniel,
where put Your script? into terminal?

[daniel]

Copy'nPaste it, and save it as VideoDub.sh.
Make it executable. If it don't start, open a terminal in the
directory, where you have stored the script, and type

Code: [Select]

./VideoDub.shto see what goes wrong.

I think in kdialog is something changed since 2008 

Good luck
Daniel
