I am trying to capture video in Kdenlive (0.7.8) using the Hauppage WinTV PVR-150 PCI card in my Ubuntu 10.10 system. I have selected Video4Linux in the Record Monitor, but when I click the play or record buttons, I receive the message 'Not connected'.

Thinking it might be a permissions issue, I added my user account to the 'video' group, which has read/write permission on /dev/video0, and then logged-in again, but received the same 'Not connected' message.

I checked the settings in Settings > Configure Kdenlive ... > Capture > Video4Linux but am not sure what the appropriate settings should be.

Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.

I was able to capture using VLC and the instructions found here:

I would still be interested in any suggestions on how I might be able to capture directly into Kdenlive.

Thanks

PVR-150 provides a MPEG-2 stream through video4linux, but ffmpeg, which we use for capture, only supports uncompressed sources through v4l.

Hi clicksnapwhiz,

I own a Hauppauge WinTV PVR150 too. And I am running Ubuntu 10.10 too.

I watch TV and record/capture movies with a software of a german developer, wich is available in English too, look here:

Hope that helps,
