It (the comb effect) will look different on a TV set than on a computer monitor. You can still see it if you know what to look for, but the visual effect is different. In many ways, it's by far easier to perceive on a computer monitor. > Although I notice today that the whole picture jumps up and down a small > amount when played back VCR->DC10->xawtv and this vertical shaking is > visible in the lavrec recorded avi and the encoded mpeg (on the computer > and tv).

It sounds like either your VCR has some sync issues (or the tape itself is causing the VCR to have sync issues) or else the timing signals coming from the VCR during playback are outside the range that the DC10 can reliably lock onto. The digitizer chip on the DC10's is a bit particular about having video signals that are quite close to "proper" spec and most VCR's tend to be designed to play fast and loose with the sync because most TV's are far more tolerant of out of bounds video sync. There was a patch someone posted to the list a goodly number of months back that enabled something that the spec sheet for the DC10 video digitizer chip called "vcr mode" or something like that. The spec sheet was mostly silent about what it really does, but it's name implies that it's for use when capturing from VCR's, and likely it just widens the acceptable range of sync values the chip is willing to tolerate. You might try searching the archives for that and seeing if it helps your situation any. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
