Thanks, I wasn't aware that one of those was 60Hz. I tried all the menu selections in xawtv 3.14, none of them got it quite right, I suspect even if the field rate was correct, the number of lines would throw it off? I haven't actually looked intot he code that defines modes, perhaps I should. Is all the timing in the 878 programmable? By making something between an ntsc and a pal mode I might get it going. My dxr3 mpeg-2 decoder card will also output conposite video for ntsc dvds in either ntsc or pal-60, so I could check it with that too. Stephen Donnelly. --
