Xv is video hardware overlay. xvinfo shows your video adaptors (VGA cards) that support overlay (plus hardware scaling), and the TV cards that are registered in X. These TV cards will use the Xv/v4l extension, which is a X-server-side way of doing TV overlay on your graphics card, without the nonsynchronization of X (i.e., you don't get "video leftovers" outside the X window; much more pleasant to the eye). > I run a > couple of programs that mmap the device and grabe frames.
