=== sparkle_history is now known as sparklehistory [07:38] It would be wonderful if I could find a straightforward method for DVRing from my TV tuner card. [07:39] 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. [07:40] dd if=/dev/tv0 of=/home/takyoji/Videos/ScrubsSes4Ep12.raw [07:40] and for the audio? [07:40] Otherwise it appears as /dev/video0 [07:40] same thing! Combine it later. [07:41] * tonyyarusso is (mostly) kidding [07:41] So it's as simple as using dd then? [07:42] I have no idea. [07:42] it might be [08:56] dd is overrated [08:56] * kermit prefers cat [09:00] Even though binary information wouldn't be all that useful to see. :P [09:03] Bah. I have 199 ebooks on my reader. Now I can't go to bed until I find one more. [09:18] Takyoji: see what binary information? [09:18] i cant asssociate that statement with anything said [09:45] Of tonyyarusso suggesting to use dd for saving raw binary output from my TV tuner card video output. === rlaager1 is now known as rlaager [21:33] i'm still confused [21:34] all video would be binary [22:56] Using 'cat' displays the information being copied, correct? [22:59] it can, but i'd only use it for text [23:00] or, do that for text, with cat [23:00] dumping binary data to a terminal is a bad idea [23:06] yeah, bad idea... [23:07] The terminal isn't like the Windows command shell where you can harmlessly type stuff. In Linux, that's programming things. [23:08] i think 'type binaryfile' would have the same results in windows terminal? [23:08] (btw putty is MUCH faster than windows terminal.. at lesat in XP) [23:08] lesat/least [23:09] XP = dead OS [23:09] 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] "* kermit prefers cat" [23:10] i would use cat for that [23:10] * Obsidian1723 pets cat [23:11] Then I was extrapolating upon what you were saying then. [23:11] * Takyoji writes dog [23:11] just doun't $ touch self [23:11] he [23:11] oh wait, stupid me; I was thinking of tee [23:11] h [23:12] 4pm. time for tee
