I'm not sure what options are available for my card or what's in the drivers. Do you mean you read the bttv driver source and experimented until you found what worked with your card? Here's my status: My card may be autodetecting, though behavior suggests not flawless. When I run xawtv and it is set to 'television' for 'video source' and 'TV norm' set to 'NTSC', all I see is a bunch of static in the top 1/2in. to 1 in. of 'tv' display window. If I change the video source to use S-video or composite1 (I am feeding output of my camcorder to those inputs for testing), I can see that xawtv is trying to display the image, but it's like the horz. sync is not right (image is indistinguishable). Then I change the 'TV norm' to PAL or NTSC-jp or really any of the other choices and I start to get an image that is squished vertically into about the top 1/2 of the display window and colors may not look right. Then I switch 'TV norm' back to NTSC, same picture remains (the 1/2-height squished one), I double-click window title bar (which turns display off and just title bar remains), then repeat double-click on title bar and display window is re-created---but now it looks normal. At this point I can switch the camcorder to playback and the video is played back like normal...just no sound from linux box (sound on the linux box works fine for everything besides xawtv--which hints that sound settings for bttv aren't right). OK, with all that said, I know diddly-squat about bttv driver options or how to find out what my card is capable of (as it has no linux info., just WinBlows). Suggestions? thanks, Keir ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
