| >Description:
|
| I use a webcam to monitor a remote location. Recently I added a second
| camera and second WinTV (bktr driver) card, but when I did one of the cards
| started acting as though it was not getting a full frame capture, when
| running in continuous capture mode (seemed to work OK when single capture
| mode was used).
|
| After checking the software and other possible souces of error, I
| discovered that the manufacturer had in the past recommended reducing
| the PCI latency under similar circumstances
|
| (http://www.hauppauge.com/html/sw_wcst.htm)
|
| ...so I tried this first as a hack, it seemed to work, then rewrote it as a
| bktr driver kernel option. A latency value of 0x10 worked in my case.
|
| >How-To-Repeat:
|
| Find an old 180 MHz Pentium pro, install two bktr cards, start capturing in
| continuous mode (a program called camserv was used).

What are the valid values of latency? Shouldn't the driver check for those?
