Yes, it would seem registers 0x28-0x2B do not have great significance in the video we get out of it. The full sequence the W7 driver does for PAL video is: EM28XX_R20_YGAIN 0x00 EM28XX_R22_UVGAIN 0x00 EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK 0x40 EM28XX_R15_RGAIN 0x20 EM28XX_R16_GGAIN 0x20 EM28XX_R17_BGAIN 0x20 EM28XX_R18_ROFFSET 0x00 EM28XX_R19_GOFFSET 0x00 EM28XX_R1A_BOFFSET 0x00 EM28XX_R23_UOFFSET 0x00 EM28XX_R24_VOFFSET 0x00 EM28XX_R26_COMPR 0x00 EM28XX_R13_??? 0x08 (Note: we do not set this at all) EM28XX_R27_OUTFMT 0x34 EM28XX_R10_VINMODE 0x00 EM28XX_R28_XMIN 0x01 EM28XX_R29_XMAX 0xB3 EM28XX_R2A_YMIN 0x01 EM28XX_R2B_YMAX 0x47 (We set 0x8e, i think) EM28XX_R1C_HSTART 0x00 EM28XX_R1D_VSTART 0x01 (We set 0x02) EM28XX_R1E_CWIDTH 0xB4 EM28XX_R1F_CHEIGHT 0x48 (We set 0x8f, or 0x90) EM28XX_R1B_OFLOW 0x00 (Tuner and AC97 config takes place here) EM28XX_R0E_AUDIOSRC 0x8f EM28XX_R21_YOFFSET 0x08 (We set 0x10) EM28XX_R20_YGAIN 0x10 EM28XX_R22_UVGAIN 0x10 EM28XX_R14_GAMMA 0x32 (We set 0x20) EM28XX_R25_SHARPNESS 0x02 (We set 0x00) EM28XX_R26_COMPR 0x00 EM28XX_R27_OUTFMT 0x34 EM28XX_R11_VINCTRL 0x11 EM28XX_R1B_OFLOW 0x00 EM28XX_R12_VINENABLE 0x67 EM28XX_R22_UVGAIN 0x10 EM28XX_R20_YGAIN 0x10 EM28XX_R0E_AUDIOSRC 0x8f > > 2.

Ah, ok. So libv4l2 can be doing stuff underneath also. I think in my setup yuv420p is the preferred one (encoding to h264 with baseline profile).

Oh, would it then make sense to disable all the non-16bpp formats for the time being? Basically, I got mostly OK picture, but areas with all-black and all-white next to each other got distorted (e.g. subtitles). > > Though, it might be an idea to set the default outfmt to something > > that is known to work.
