Composite works fine. And right now I can't ever reproduce it, as lavrec captures nothing anymore from S-Video. (For more info, see the thread "DC30+ identified as DC10?"). I still haven't worked out what's the underlying problem here. It's capturing black only now. xawtv is black now too. ... /Rebooting/ <mental note> Don't forget to physically disconnect composite first. Connecting S-Video in itself is not enough. I don't know why, but it helps. </mental note> ... Ok. lavrec captures again. In B/W. No color. xawt does full color. > BTW: If you use the precompiled Suse mjpegtools package you don't have > tool like mpeg2enc and mp2enc.
