Yeah, that works. 10% CPU utilization. Very nice. Only quirk is that I can't get the aspect ratio correct.

Alternatively, is it possible to get the PVR 350 to add the black bars in hardware? -- Jesse Guardiani Programmer/Sys Admin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list ivtv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ivtv-devel
