i'm running at 24 bpp. i'm not familiar with the overlay setting. do you
mean the Capture: overlay setting in xawtv? i've tried changing it, but
it doesn't seem to matter. is there an overlay setting for X?

yes, with no apparent effect. i still just get a black screen.
yesterday i said that videodog was working fine. well, now it's
half-working. strangely, the information returned by videodog -s -d
/dev/video0 has changed! yesterday it was saying the Max Width was 768
or something around there. today it's saying:
[douglas@stamp2 douglas]$ videodog -s -d /dev/video0
Video Cat tool Version 0.06
Device Name: BT878(Hauppauge new (bt878))
Device: /dev/video
Max Width : 924
Max Height : 576
Current Settings :
Input : 0
Brightness : 32768
Hue : 32768
Colour : 32512
Contrast : 27648
the box that the card came in says that it can do up to 1600x1200...is
924x576 a weird value? what could cause the value to change? many of the
images i'm getting now with videodog have the scan lines messed up, the
image seems to be layed upon itself. so i have a feeling that there's a
problem with the width/height settings. if i grab very small images the
captured image gets better...
could all this be pointing to a bad card?
thanks,
douglas
