Hiya,
I'm happy that I've had bttv and xawtv working well in X4 and a 2.4
kernel for some time. ;)
I live in a PAL-B/G country. My VCR claims to be able to play NTSC
tapes, to a PAL tv. It does this by reading the ntsc tapes, and
outputting a valid PAL signal, except that the field rate is 60Hz, and
presumably the number of lines is only 525 rather than 625. This mode is
sometimes referred to as PAL-60, and some DVD players do the same I
think.
When using xawtv, setting it to ntsc produces a messed up b/w image. In
pal mode the image is colour, but it is obviously confused byt the sync
rate and number of lines, the viual effect is similar to loosing
vertical hold.
Does bttv/xawtv support such a mode? Is it even possible? I'm using a
bt878 based card, with this description:
{ "APAC ViewComp 878",
2, 1, 0, 2,15, { 2, 3, 1, 1}, { 2, 0, 0, 0,10},0,
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, PLL_28, -1}
and lspci produces:
