Having 2/3 of a picture and no color is very characteristic for pal/ntsc mixups, I don't think you have to debug the v4l driver since you have captured jpegs with the right settings yourself. I think you should look at the capture code of streamer and see if the norm settings are handled the right way. This is done with the VIDIOCGCHAN and VIDIOCSCHAN ioctls. I think it will be the easiest to compare the calls to this ioctl of streamer with the program that you used for the jpeg capture. Jeroen
