ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

<Lord_Nightmare>
whitequark: can you pm me where i should send this?

Foone_: if you want to go down the rabbit hole, the gv-usb2 device uses the same chipset as a different device which is supported by V4L, but I have no idea if the gv-usb2 can be convinced to work with the same kernel driver or if it will take some hacking to make it work
<Lord_Nightmare>
i believe gv-usb2 is a h.263 encoder on a chip, which uses some format which has to be messed around with a bit (maybe ffmpeg can help with this) to be played back as a h.263 avi etc
<Foone_>
yeah, I'm definitely not doing that. buying one stupid device was my limit, I think
<Foone_>
I'm just gonna yell at these existing ones until I can get them to work
<TD-Linux>
that sounds super gross
<whitequark>
Lord_Nightmare: ok, in a bit, i'm having a really bad day so please ping me again if i forget

gv-usb2 is supposed to be one of the better low cost usb2.0 240p/480i capture devices though
<Lord_Nightmare>
lots of people use them for snes streaming since they do really nice s-video capture
<Lord_Nightmare>
i have one, though i'm planning to use it for digitizing videotapes
<Lord_Nightmare>
also i don't know what 'messing around a bit' means with regards to the h.263 stream the gv-usb2 does, it may just need a RIFF header slapped on and that's it
<Lord_Nightmare>
i'd also LOVE it of the gv-usb2 had good support in linux...

Lord_Nightmare: you're following the VHS related work around #domesday86?
<cr1901_modern>
domesday86 is the laserdisc preservation project IIRC?
<Wohali>
yes
<Lord_Nightmare>
balrog: not this sec, i'll take a look
