[pvrusb2] bad behavior in v4l-dvb.git

[Michael Krufky]

Mike,

Mauro has requested that Linus pull the pvrusb2 driver from his git tree.

I tested the most recent version from the mercurial repository on 
linuxtv.org.  (This is the same code that was pushed to Linus)

Please check out the sample capture located at 
http://linuxtv.org/~mkrufky/pvrusb2.mpeg

The picture is distorted and stretched horizontally past the limits of 
the screen, (it seems to be too wide, by a factor of 2)

No errors show up in the kernel log, but I have noticed that the init 
routine seems to be much less verbose than last time I had tested the 
driver:

What happened to:  pvrusb2[0]: registered device video1 [mpeg] ???

VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS seems to have revealed something, though:

Notice how the encoder resolution is set to 384x288...  I am used to it 
being 720x480, 30fps by default.  Has something changed in regards to 
the default encoder settings?
