Also, you should make sure that you're either running as root or have sufficient access to /dev/rtc to get high resolution timing. Otherwise the high framerate isn't possible. I'm trying to now improve the autodetection and documentation of performance problems. Run 'tvtime -s' to see an indication whenever an input frame has been missed. Also, please hit 'd' while tvtime is running using something simple like linear interpolation and email me the stats you get (they're printed to stderr). I'm curious. Many thanks, Billy
