Can you? My understanding is that where an overlay is used you'll get a nice virulent purple or bright blue image, not the video. I guess if your Xv is blitting directly into video memory that would work but why use Xv if you're happy with an unscaled fast blit xawtv -noxv makes more sense. -- Michael.
