Another possibility is that scott is experiencing the dreaded field reversal effect, or a compounded effect caused by fields being recorded and played back in slight temporal disorder.. My hardware has very experimental drivers, and I have still not worked out all necessary flags needed for perfect grabbing. I suffer from the latter phenomenon; my card grabs frames on one field boundary, tags them slightly wrong, and then they get messed up in the replay process. Vertical shaking is one trade mark of field reversal. Such lav files can be corrected with yuvcorrect or similar tools. Scott, have you tried replaying the grabbed file with lavplay and the -x flag? /Sam ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_idU88&alloc_id065&op=click _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
