Jamie, have you tried xawtv? Here's my .xawtv file, may it help you and good luck!! changing the window size rocks; it only uses the processor for a sec to resize, then it's all CPUless entertainment. I switch to email, browser, and a few terminals during commercials. I also enjoy the gkrellm volume plugin, to I have easy mixer access on the sie of the screen... but now I am assuming that you use X; I just found out (at EFN's open house) that Larry uses only text-mode there at work. I can work like that, but don't often : ) Remote X via ssh... One thing, with the xawtv program -- I noticed I'd have to start it in a "-noxv" mode (as in no xv lib usage), so get image capture and video recording to work at all. : / Then, in the past few months, when I tried that mode it was in B & W, maybe like your situation? I did look at one avi I saved, and wasn't impressed as not only were noticable frames lost, but the colormapping was screwy, yuck. Haven't ever used it under windoze! Lemme know how your adventures pan out.
