Thus spake Michael Nottebrock (michaelnottebrock@gmx.net) [28/08/04 17:31]: : > I mean that the picture is fuzzy, there's horizontal lines going down the : > back, the colour's off in places... : : With S-Video? That really sounds like there's something wrong with the video : source. Are you using a SCART/S-VIDEO converter perhaps? In that case you'd : might to switch the signal to s-video at the video source first... Yep, with S-Video. Via mplayer, the RCA in is much cleaner than the S-Video in. Which is the whole reason for my post -- I'm obviously doing something wrong, I just don't know what. I rebooted into Windows and tested the card out -- while the S-Video is not as clear as I'd like it to be, it's better than RCA in under that OS -- the picture's much cleaner and crisper, there's no artifacts on the screen, and it doesn't hurt my eyes to watch for longer than ten minutes. I'm wondering if cabling will be an issue here -- I've got a dirt-cheap cable that I'm using, I might try to find a different one to see if that helps at all. No, it won't help the deinterlacing issues, but it might make other problems go away. And no, I believe it's S-Video at the source.
