| Takyoji | It would be wonderful if I could find a straightforward method for DVRing from my TV tuner card. | 07:38 |
|---|---|---|
| Takyoji | I can only really watch and control my TV tuner card in tvtime; I have difficulties within VLC. Additionally, the audio is separate, there's an audio output on the TV tuner card that I have looped to a Line In port on my motherboard. | 07:39 |
| tonyyarusso | dd if=/dev/tv0 of=/home/takyoji/Videos/ScrubsSes4Ep12.raw | 07:40 |
| Takyoji | and for the audio? | 07:40 |
| Takyoji | Otherwise it appears as /dev/video0 | 07:40 |
| tonyyarusso | same thing! Combine it later. | 07:40 |
| * tonyyarusso is (mostly) kidding | 07:41 | |
| Takyoji | So it's as simple as using dd then? | 07:41 |
| tonyyarusso | I have no idea. | 07:42 |
| tonyyarusso | it might be | 07:42 |
| kermit | dd is overrated | 08:56 |
| * kermit prefers cat | 08:56 | |
| Takyoji | Even though binary information wouldn't be all that useful to see. :P | 09:00 |
| tonyyarusso | Bah. I have 199 ebooks on my reader. Now I can't go to bed until I find one more. | 09:03 |
| kermit | Takyoji: see what binary information? | 09:18 |
| kermit | i cant asssociate that statement with anything said | 09:18 |
| Takyoji | Of tonyyarusso suggesting to use dd for saving raw binary output from my TV tuner card video output. | 09:45 |

| kermit | i'm still confused | 21:33 |
| kermit | all video would be binary | 21:34 |
| Takyoji | Using 'cat' displays the information being copied, correct? | 22:56 |
| kermit | it can, but i'd only use it for text | 22:59 |
| kermit | or, do that for text, with cat | 23:00 |
| kermit | dumping binary data to a terminal is a bad idea | 23:00 |
| Obsidian1723 | yeah, bad idea... | 23:06 |
| Obsidian1723 | The terminal isn't like the Windows command shell where you can harmlessly type stuff. In Linux, that's programming things. | 23:07 |
| kermit | i think 'type binaryfile' would have the same results in windows terminal? | 23:08 |
| kermit | (btw putty is MUCH faster than windows terminal.. at lesat in XP) | 23:08 |
| kermit | lesat/least | 23:08 |
| Obsidian1723 | XP = dead OS | 23:09 |
| Takyoji | kermit, the context I was talking in was about all this time was about copying and storing raw data from my TV tuner card; tonyyarusso jokingly implied it was as simple as using 'dd'. And then you interject (if that's the proper term) with: "kermit: dd is overrated" | 23:09 |
| Takyoji | "* kermit prefers cat" | 23:09 |
| kermit | i would use cat for that | 23:10 |
| * Obsidian1723 pets cat | 23:10 | |
| Takyoji | Then I was extrapolating upon what you were saying then. | 23:11 |
| * Takyoji writes dog | 23:11 | |
| Obsidian1723 | just doun't $ touch self | 23:11 |
| Obsidian1723 | he | 23:11 |
| Takyoji | oh wait, stupid me; I was thinking of tee | 23:11 |
| Obsidian1723 | h | 23:11 |
| Obsidian1723 | 4pm. time for tee | 23:12 |
