I've had my wintv card working for quite a while. I've used it with cable input, camcorder input and web cam input. I'm able to generate pretty decent jpegs. I recently attempted to use streamer to capture a small segment of video from my camcorder, with poor results. When viewed via xanim, the avi file presents a black/white video that covers roughly the top 2/3 of the window. I've attempted variations on fps and window size. The best I get is the above description with: streamer -s 320x240 -i s-video -r 20 -t 60 -o foo.avi Any suggestions as to how I might produce a more useful video? Hardware: Celeron 400, 128meg, Matrox Millennium 8meg, blaster 3dfx add-on card 8meg. -- Until later: Geoffrey esoteric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.
