Extremely low FPS on version 1.24.1

nombrandue · Post by **nombrandue** » Thu May 28, 2009 3:15 am

I am working on a CentOS 5.2 system that is running a PV-183 CCTV card from BlueCherry, which is showing increased oddities over the old 4 port single chip BT878 card (4 ports spanned across one chip) which shows the monitor, Cycle and montage FPS as going from 20FPS to showing this: State: Idle - -3736.22 fps. That is a negative 3736 FPS (appears that the image stream freezes until one sees the FPS statement) and I have seen this through both cards, even with one camera set up on this. During this time I am seeing this in the logs:

I see the "WAR [Buffer overrun at" errors and am working on those (Newer card, different settings and other insanity like that) but as this frames per second issue has been going on since I upgraded to 1.24.1 built from source) and will get most of the other warnings cleaned up.

As a quick side note, using Video For Linux 2, what would be the best setting for US NTSC cards? I have played with a lot of the settings but can't get it right, and it is causing lines to appear on any motion.
