I don't know about the card, but with the bttv, I've solved the same
problem.
There's a README file in the realproducer directory. They say you must set
an environment variable to tell realproducer whitch TV norm you use. Here
in Switzerland, we use PAL. Here is an abstract of the config file :
-------- START ----------------------------------------------
+ Capture video format may be specified only by using the VCAP_FORMAT
environment
variable. Valid values are PAL, SECAM, and NTSC. If the environment
variable is absent or different from the above, NTSC is assumed.
Examples for setting format to PAL for different shells follow:
bash% VCAP_FORMAT=PAL realproducer -l 0,2:1 -s myserver:4040/live.rm -y 0
* or *
bash% export VCAP_FORMAT=PAL
bash% realproducer -l 0,2:1 -s myserver:4040/live.rm -y 0
csh% setenv VCAP_FORMAT PAL
csh% realproducer -l 0,2:1 -s myserver:4040/live.rm -y 0
sh% VCAP_FORMAT=PAL realproducer -l 0,2:1 -s myserver:4040/live.rm -y 0
* or *
sh% VCAP_FORMAT=PAL
sh% export VCAP_FORMAT
sh% realproducer -l 0,2:1 -s myserver:4040/live.rm -y 0
--------- END -----------------------------------------------
To get the sound from the line in soundcard port and the video from the
S-Video port, I say :
realproducer -l 2:1,4:2...
Hope this helps.
