Had tried VLC/Mplayer etc but all gave only B&W - no colour. - TVTime
was only player of svideo or composite input that had both sound and colour.
Finally solved with VLC - after much much Googling and trial and error.
Hereunder are my notes re what was needed to "fix" both colour and sound
in VLC:-
-----------------
VLC /Media/Capture Device/ ( capture Mode Video for Linux 2) - change
"Standard" to PAL
go to "File" and set to "Play" (next to Cancel) - sound is distorted
Shit+r to record ( to /home/username/vlc-record-"date@time"-vl42_.avi
--------------------------------
DISTORTED SOUND
Audio / Advanced / Output Modules changed fom "Default" to "Alsa Audio
Output"
------------------------
thanks
Bill
