I'm talking about motion capture. I have two goals. 1) Make a PVR, and 2) Be able to pull a stream off my video server from another computer. If I'm successful with 1, I should be able to swing #2. I tried mp1e with the following settings: mp1e -m 1 -c /dev/v4l2/capture0 -C k7 > test4.avi The video output I got is here: http://gate.takeflight.ca:8079/test4.avi It's a short clip, but you can clearly see these lines, even with mpeg1 encoding.. Can anyone compare this to thier results, and let me know if this is typical?

Are you talking about still capture or motion capture? For me xawtv is fine if I don't specify the -noxv option, but then I can't save images. If I don't specify -noxv I can capture but either way it captures both fields (interplaced in one frame). Zapping will capture stills without being interlaced. I have a libmpeg.zapping.so in the plugin directory, but I can't seem to figure out how to use it. (any ideas?) I've used mp1e with great success for capturing movies. Even my k6-2 300MHz is fast enough to mpeg encode in realtime. I'm running 2.4.16 with v4l that came with the kernel.
