V4l2 appears to be valid only for cx8800 capture cards and falls back to
V4l for all other cards. I am using a BT878A capture card on a 2.6.8.1
md kernel which does support v4l2 but NuppelVideoRecorder is using
this card via the V4l API rather than the V4l2 api. The V4l2 code in
NuppelVideorecorder is using a slightly more efficient way of performing
transfers (select). A quick test, moving the brackets ( c code below)
allows the v4l2 code to be used resulting in a significant speed increase.

*----------------------------Open from NuppelVideRecorder.cpp
if (usingv4l2)
{
if (vcap.card[0] == 'B' && vcap.card[1] == 'T' && vcap.card[2] ==
'8' && vcap.card[4] == '8')
correct_bttv = true;
if (QString("cx8800") == QString((char *)vcap.driver))
{
channelfd = open(videodevice.ascii(), O_RDWR);
if (channelfd < 0)
{
VERBOSE(VB_IMPORTANT, QString("NVR: Can't open video
device: %1").arg(videodevice));
perror("open video:");
KillChildren();
return false;
}
} //+++++++++++++ insert
inpixfmt = FMT_NONE;
InitFilters();
DoV4L2();
return false;
} //----------------- remove
}
channelfd = fd;
return true;
