And the card is not able to sync on it. If you have a VCD, try to record it first to the VCR and that from the VCR to the LML33. Else I fear that the only way to recrod the video will be a box that makes the signal better. > > > The only reference I found searching the mailing list said to remove the > > > target file first > > > That doesn't help > > > I tried rerecording on to a new tape and capturing from that but no good > > > I tried 2 different vcrs but no good > > > I tried -c2, -c1, and -c0 but no good > > > I'm using a LML33 with kernel 2.6.6 and mjpegtool 1.6.2 > > > I've successfully captured from other tapes > > Do you use the original kernel driver or the CVS version ? > I've tried both, no difference If you have the LML33R10, you have a SAA7111a, in the PDF specification the the IC, you finde on page 48 a description for the sync control register SA08 where you can set the TV mode VTRC. If you change that bit in the saa7111.c line 175 to 0 (TV mode recomended for poor quality only) that MIGHT help. You have to change the 0xc8 to 0xc0 Maybe there are other registers that help but that one looks as if it could be helpfull. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
