The problem described below occurs both in zapping and mplayer/mencoder, installed from packages on Debian unstable.
When watching I see no difference in quality between TV and video tape playback (at present the analog VCR is connected to the antenna socket) I can also record the TV broadcast with good quality. However, when I record the video tape playback, the quality is unacceptable (there is no sound or it is distorted, video itself is also distorted). Does anybody else also have this problem? Is there a known solution? Best regards -- , dr hab. Janusz S. Bien, prof. UW Prof. Janusz S.
