I spent a good few days trying to get xawtv to produce good a/v sync with no success. I know for a fact that my computer was fast enough because it was a dual pIII w/ 512 mb and a 10k ultra160 drive. I had pretty much given up on xawtv. Where can I get your modified source? BTW: I tried a SB16 pci and a SBLive. --Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ori Pessach" <opessach@xxxxxxxxx> To: <video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2001 9:33 AM Subject: Audio/video sync in xawtv > Ok, somebody please tell me I'm not crazy: > > I've been experiencing problems with audio/video synchronization when > capturing MJPEG avi files using xawtv.
