1. I know how the init.d process worked, but I had no idea how the modprobe.d system did, and to make it worse, different systems seem to handle it their own way. on ubuntu I finally got the card to be setup correctly by editing the /etc/modprobe.d/aliases file. I appended the
to the end of the file, and rebooted. Finally!alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133 tuner=4,4,4,4
2. I uninstalled ffmpeg that was on the system via "apt-get remove ffmpeg" and was able to compile zm. Soon, I'll try to get the cvs version and rebuild to see the difference that have the encoder makes. i took a look at the events files, and they're all jpegs! whoa.
