et, you know, i hadn't tried changing that before. Hmmmm let's go see :) (the only one that will display is "overlay") I tried changing to "grabdisplay" and "off" both on mine but still got "grabbing: not supported" Even when using the streamer command i put in previously in the thread, if xawtv (or zapping, or motv, etc...) was running it would give me a "device busy" error. I'm sure it has to do with the hardware capabilities / compatibility. Thought it odd though that back when i still had windows on here i could watch and record at the same time but under linux i have to stop watching to record. v4l seems to be a tricky thing LOL. (I can't even get kwinTV to see my card, for example) So I'll offer up what worked for me. thanks for the suggestion! ;-) Jerry. -- _||_ (o_ //\ V_/_ Registered Linux User #300600 Registered Linux Machine #185855
