It outputs at twice the framerate as any xawtv mode, for one, giving you the same degree of smoothness as a real TV. tvtime also does processing on the frames to remote interlacing artifacts that you see if you run xawtv in 'overlay' mode. tvtime also has a nifty on-screen-display. :) It's unclear to me what the average xawtv user uses xawtv for. If you use it for full-screen TV viewing, then tvtime is a good choice because we can meet and exceed the quality of a standard television in picture and motion quality. If, on the other hand, you just use it to keep an eye on the hockey game while using your computer, then while tvtime might have higher CPU requirements than xawtv, we hope to improve our interface such that you'll use tvtime for the ease of use alone. My intention is definitely though to bring HTPC (home theatre PC) quality to Linux, so that tvtime can compete with expensive hardware deinterlacer boxes as part of a home theatre system. -- Billy Biggs vektor@xxxxxxxxxxxx
