The VCR Hack is only available in v4l2 so you need to prevent v4lctl from using the Xvideo extention in your Xserver. > notice agc, comb, luma, automute, audio mode are not listed, but show up in > xawtv's menu only when _not_ using xv. Right. v4l2 has all the neat knobs, not xv. Therefore you need to force xawtv and v4lctl to use v4l2. xawtv has a switch for it, v4lctl does not, so making DISPLAY invalid has the same effect. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
