Fix it? What do you want to do? You could use my deinterlacer, or write something similar: http://www.dumbterm.net/graphics/tvtime/ So that will upsample each field to a frame and send that to Xv. One thing we were discussing on the Xpert list was to update the Xv API so you can give it fields with parity, that way it can do the right offsets to have the video card scale each field to full height itself, but that's not done yet. The problem with doing everything in the v4l module is that somebody needs to do the work every field of updating the offsets with the video card. With NTSC, that means every 16ms. Not sure if X's priority level is high enough to do that (and v4l doesn't give you an interrupt per field, only per frame- but this is hopefully fixed with the new v4l2 drivers). So, lots of possibilities, but none of them are all that great. -- Billy Biggs vektor@xxxxxxxxxxxx
