Adjusting doesn't help. The colors are really off. Totally unnatural.
Actually there's just shades of green, gray and purple. I can "see"
the tv-program/video/whatever, but it's really ugly :(
The color distortion only happens with bttv2 + xawtv + XF4 (Xvideo).
With bttv everything is fine.
Ditto the combination bttv2 + xawtv + XF3.x works ok.
Also, as I stated earlier, disabling XVideo in xawtv results in a nice
picture.
Sorry, but grabbing isn't supported with Xvideo and taking a window
snapshot just produces a blue image. How do I grab an overlayed image ??
FWIW, here's what xawtv reports:
pyxis23:<~>$ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.24, running on Linux/i686 (2.2.18pre24)

TIA for any insights,
