I remember I tried bttv-0.8.x to watch tv and capture at one time. When I choose 512x384 - xawtv stopped update picture. Now I installed videodevX and bttv2. When I choose 512x384 and run QTrec - picture in xawtv is only little distorted, but I can see what I am recording. Hurray! :-) -- When there's lightning It always bring me down Cause it's free and I see that it's me "Rainbow In The Dark" Who's lost and never found - Ronnie James Dio
