[PD] (off topic?) PhD in electronic music?

[eccn]

I hope this question isn't too far removed from PD discussion...

I'm a lifelong devotee to mostly electronic music, and would love to find a 
higher education course I could do from home in the UK which would put me 
through a detailed study of a great variety of audio (and perhaps visual) 
composition and production techniques.

Please can anyone suggest such a course?

Many thanks

[PD] Gem video examples change my capture card settings

[eccn]

(Hope this doesn't duplicate -- didn't seem to get posted)


I just discovered pd-extended, and am now playing with live video via a
PCI capture card. Very happy!

But can anyone tell me why running any of the Gem video examples seems
to change my video capture card's mode to some non-PAL setting? (My
camera is PAL). Can I specify this as a default setting somehow?

The OS here is Linux Ubuntu Studio (Hardy). I have a generic BT878-based
tuner/capture card, which reports as follows after typing 'lspci':

00:0e.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video
Capture (rev 02)

00:0e.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture
(rev 02)



Many thanks in advance.
