Hi folks,
i'm still fiddling around with my linux based video recorder. After having found out how to get my nvidia-video-board to give me a nice PAL overscan signal (http://sf.net/projects/nv-tv-out), I decided to not use the composite out of the DVB board but the svhs out of the graphics board. DVD playback already works wonderfully, but I have problems with the DVB stuff. I'm using xawtv just for telling the hardware to put an overlay from the DVB board on the X display - after quitting xawtv, the overlay still works. But the overlay region is not completely filled up with the TV picture, there are borders at the left, at the right and at the bottom of the overlay region. When taking a screenshot with xawtv, I get a 768x576 picture (PAL size). When examinig it with a picture viewer, the left border is about 14 pixels, the right border is about 12 pixels and the bottom border is about 3 pixels. Where do these borders come from? Is it a DVB driver, v4l or xawtv problem? Is there a solution for getting around this problem? Is there a way to put the overlay on the X display without an application like xawtv?
