capture difficulty (Osprey 100)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello
I have an osprey 100 that works well I can view video on xawtv as well as capture using various programs. What my problem seems to be is that I have a large black border around the video (input is from a VCR). I would like to not see that. I tried some capture software that can crops the input (RealNetworks Producer). The problem I have is that it is only cropping the video image, not the black border. Since I see the border in all V4L display type programs I wondered if there was an insmod option I could use. I've read over the documentation in the kernel source Documentation/video4linux/bttv/Insmod-Options. I don't see anything like that. Am I out of luck?

One more question. Is there a way to set the input type as NTSC by default instead of having to set all programs to use NTSC instead of PAL which seems to come up as default most of the time. I can use v4lctl to change it sometimes I guess, but wondered if that could be set in the module loading stage...?

System Information:
	SMP Intel PIII 1Ghz
	Osprey 100 Card
