Hi, I am no using double buffering. I have used a sample code from videodog I believe that to use double buffering I should set the modules.conf parameter add options bttv gbuffers=2 fieldnr=2. Am I wrong ? Please, do you have any sample code showing how I can use double buffer properly ? You said I should get at least 27,28 fps. What computer configuration did you get this ?
