Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: 62ccd394-1737-4ed0-b0ac-bfb1f2ad643a X-Archives-Hash: 16db4511ade20735547afaf043a07c3c Hi List, I got a capture card (4 port composite) ages ago, and I remember I had it working perfectly. I've just reinstalled it into a fresh gentoo box and connected one of the cameras, and all I'm getting is noise. I know its a real image as when I put my hand over the camera lens, the image goes black, still distorted but black. From what I've been able to tell from a bit of poking around, it seems that the Hsync of the camera or card isn't set right and is causing this distortion. I can't give you the exact card model as I've lost all the paperwork, but it does come up as a bt878 generic card. Originally I was having timeouts but solved that with a pci slot change. I've got almost no real knowledge of v4l so I'm pretty lost as to what I should be looking at next. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Matt
