Hello,

I'm using a PVR-350 card on linux in order to transfer movies from VHS 
videotapes to MPEG files. 
At the moment I use "cat /dev/video0 > foo.mpg" (I haven't figured out yet how 
to record in
mythtv without having any tv channels defined).

It seems to be working great with most movies, but a few cartoons appear to be 
very fuzzy:
any time a character moves, he's in two places at once, as shown in this 
screenshot:

Pausing on the VCR doesn't show this artefact, only pausing during playing 
(with mplayer,
or after transferring the MPEG to an actual DVD and watching it on a real TV).

Is this what is called "motion blur"? I have tried setting dnr_mode to 0 and to 
3,
I have tried setting dnr_temporal to 0 and 16, dnr_spatial to 0 and 16, all 
this seems to
have no effect. From what I understand, motion blur is about slight fuzziness 
(and optimizing
the MPEG compression), whereas my problem is about two distinct images on top 
of each other... right?

Any ideas?

* My ivtv settings:

ivtvctl --set-input=5
ivtvctl -f width=720,height=576
ivtvctl -c bitrate=4500000,bitrate_peak=6000000
# For some reason ivtv or the pvr gets initialized with hue not 0 !? Everything 
looked blueish...
ivtvctl --set-ctrl=hue=0
# Motion blur fix - got it from some wiki page, but no idea if it's good or bad
ivtvctl -c dnr_temporal=0
# Output in mode DVD
ivtvctl -c stream_type=14

* ivtv init kernel messages: attached.


PS: I saw in the archives a mail from Thibautc Colar which includes a color 
shift problem, I suggest: ivtvctl --set-ctrl=hue=0
