When recording stops (by pressing Ctrl-C) it records a single frame, I can view afterwars with xv for example. I usally record severals frames, and selecet afterwards the frame with > > Which mainboard, cpu and distribution do you use ? > MSI-6368 Intel 845D, Celeron 2.4G/400, Fedora Core 3 I'm A bit confused, according to MSI the board uses a VIA Chipset an no Intel chipset. Older Via chipsets are known to cause problems with Zoran based cards. (http://www.msi-computer.at/produkte/main_idx_view.php?Prod_id=169) Which kernel do you use ? If you don't use a original, unmodified, Linux kernel get the original Kernel from kernel.org and try again. Or try first the current CVS Version of the zoran driver: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/mjpeg \ co driver-zoran/ What does the system message log tell you ? > >> I'm not the only one with this problem: I found a usenet post from 2003 > >> with someone else having the exact same problem. > > Where did you find that post ? > if that doesn't work, do a groups.google search on > dc30 author:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > His problems is exactly the same as mine.

I have just recorded on my computer with the DC30 and the 2.6.9 Kernel with a quality of 95 and did not encounter your problems. For me you short sample I got, lookes as if you only have composite input but uses SVHS, and a old problem the DC30 that was fixed a long time ago (> 1year). But that are only guesses. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
