This could be related to this bug (https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/solo6x10/issues/8) but I haven't seen this rolling before. What application are you using to obtain the video? What resolution are you using? Can you paste the command line?
I use FFplay to view and FFmpeg to obtain the video, command line:
$ ffplay /dev/video1
$ ffmpeg -i /dev/video1 -vcodec copy video4.mp4
I use resolution 704x576
Thanks,
Benlla
I set resolution with command line: $ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -v width=702,height=576
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -v width=702,height=576
It should be 704x576
Did you load the module with video_type=1 to enable PAL? (http://help.bluecherrydvr.com/spaces/manuals/buckets/1469/lessons/26448-Using-PAL-cameras-with-Bluecherry)
yes,
the resolution: 704x576 and when I load the module with video_type=1, I got the video (video3.mp4)
the command line: $ ffmpeg -i /dev/video1 -vcodec copy video2.mp4, I got the latest driver (2.3.6-1-3-g) from (https:/github.bluecherrydvr.com/solo6x10), too.

Hi Curtis,
Can you reply for me early? I'm waiting...
Thanks,
Hi,
(about https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/solo6x10/issues/8)
We're currently aware and working on this bug for some time already, but it's really hard to nail it down cause it's some kind of race condition there. I'm currently the one who's working on it and I would really like to give you any ETA of some kind, but it's really hard to say it with these kind of bugs... But, hopefully, in the nearest future we'll break it.
Thank you for your patience!
This should be resolved now in the latest driver (2.3.7)

I have appear to have this issue as well, however I am using driver 2.4.1-1.

Collin,
Could you please attach a screenshot of the corruption you are seeing. What utility/program are you using to record the video? Are you using NTSC or PAL camera(s)?
Thanks,
Alex.
The cameras are NTSC. The corruption should be apparent in the .mkv I attached in my original post. The .mkv was exported from the bluecherry 2.0.0-beta8.1 client attached to bluecherrydvr V2 Beta 9.7
