The driver just spits out mpeg data so you must be using something to capture frames from it. It can't know how you are using the data so if it's OK with one method and problematic with another then at first glance this sounds like an issue with the method itself. Try capturing to a file (i.e. "cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/foo.mpg"), then play that file back as video in mplayer or vlc. Now try to capture a snapshot from that file (can you do that?). If the video looked ok but the snapshot is still bad, then that should prove that it is something strange with the snapshot process you are doing. -Mike -- | Mike Isely | PGP fingerprint Spammers Die!! | | 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 | isely @ pobox (dot) com | 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 | | _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
