Then something has changed - as last time I've been mailing with
NVidia guys - they only helped me with my problem with their driver
but has got immediately quiet when I've started to discuss VSYNC device :)

Well actually I mean oposite process :) to properly support TV output
for noninterlaced video.

I know about this project...

Well why I should I burn my CPU when hardware can do that more
efficiently ??

Well no problem with me - I would suggest there would be just some
table with functions and each grpahics card would have it method
to  detect/enable/disable/... call

I guess you would have to discusse this with them...
(I've tried - no success - maybe they were too busy...)

Enable Peak Filtering & low color removal

providing much better  automute  (as the one in bttv is disable/enable
audio when the signal is a bit weak - really annoying)

Better value for agc filter so I could actually watch my LP recoded
tapes - as with it's default value the image is too much bright
(practially all I could see is just white image and I had to
use really very small brightness & constrast values to at least see
something which has been remaining image)

Well I've pushed as much as I could into bttv once I've bought my
AverTV card (e.g. stereo support, radio support) and those rejected patches
I'm using myself together with few of my friends - but as I see it could
be really useful for other users as author still has 'not smart' excuses
to ignore them.
