If you want PAL video, from an external camera, you need to make
2 changes to the program.

a) add the ioctl to select PAL mode.
b) change the input device from DEV1 (the TV tuner) to DEV0 - the
external camera on the RCA (phone) connector.

The changes to make are
a) AFTER the line which says
   /* set up the capture type and size */  
add the following C code.

   i = METEOR_FMT_PAL;
   ioctl(bt848,METEORSFMT, &i);

b) change
  c = METEOR_INPUT_DEV1;     
to
  c = METEOR_INPUT_DEV0;     

Bye
Roger
