hi again, still trying to figure out why my WinTV card is so strange. can someone with a WinTV model 401 and RH7.1 do this: videodog -s -d /dev/video0 and send me the results? mine is below. i mentioned before that it was Max Width: 768 (or close to that) yesterday, but today it's 924...and the image is all broken up and layered which makes me think there's some problem with the card/driver not agreeing on the actual width of the image or something like that... [douglas@stamp2 douglas]$ videodog -s -d /dev/video0 Video Cat tool Version 0.06 Device Name: BT878(Hauppauge new (bt878)) Device: /dev/video Max Width : 924 Max Height : 576 Current Settings : Input : 0 Brightness : 32768 Hue : 32768 Colour : 32512 Contrast : 27648 thanks, douglas
