Ubuntu and AverMedia DVD EZMaker USB Gold

[Jorge Cabrera <jorge.cabrera@andago.com>]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make an "AverMedia DVD EZMaker USB Gold" work with Ubuntu 
(tried in a computer with 9.04 and other two with 9.10) with a Sony EVI 
D70P Camera. I installed the linux drivers from AverMedia and when I 
connect the device the system shows the following message when i run dmesg:

[69302.964025] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and 
address 6
[69303.637332] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[69303.860132] C038 registered V4L2 device video0[video]
[69303.860160] C038 registered V4L2 device vbi0[vbi]
[69303.860440] C038 registered ALSA sound card 2

Problem is that when I connect the camera it doesn' work, tried with 
cheese, gstreamer-properties, camorama and always get the same error:

libv4l2: error getting pixformat: Invalid argument

I tried connecting the camera with s-video and composite video with the 
same result. Funny thing is that I get the same error without connecting 
the camera so I guess it's just a problem with the AverMedia device. 
Works well on Windows.

I've been reading a lot on this but still have no clues. I'm going to 
try with the drivers at linuxtv.org but I wanted to ask has anyone got 
this type of device working under linux?

I would really appreciate any help.

Cheers,
