Sorry for duplicate message: I get the "does not appear to be a video
file" error. this has only been an issue since upgrading to the new svn
(4.1) worked fine in 3.11

Yes and No. Yes mplayer defaults to PAL which makes sense, based on the
geograpy. Mplayer doesn't seen to have a way to change the default thru
GUI and I don't know where to find the lines of code to change from PAL
and "input0" to NTSC and "input1" That's all it would take. Two lines of
code. If only I knew where. I tried launchpad and mencoder's site
forums, but no luck so far.

Changing the width height, fps etc in LiVEs doesn't do much; the card is
being opened in the wrong format by Mencoder/mplayer. Lives just tries
and do the best it can with the corrupt data Mplayer sends it. The
reason the capture card works for me with xawtv or tvtime set as the
player for LiVes is both of those apps let me to the card's input
settings. Again, somewhere there are two lines I could change in
Mplayer/mencoder, but I don't seem to be able to find them.

Didn't even think of that. Do I do that thru the LiVEs website, then?
