The bitrate should be the same. I have only tested it with PAL, but I could use my DVD Player to play back some NTSC Material, to test if it works. I will do that tomorow. Can you test some PAL Video with your DC30 ? You can do a usable format conversation to PAL form NTSC with the mjpeg tools. > > For me you short sample I got, lookes as if you only have composite > > input but uses SVHS, and a old problem the DC30 that was fixed a long > > time ago (> 1year).

If you see the video in colors and not black white we have a different problem here. If you use the SVS input and only have B/W you do nor create real composite. > Ah, maybe FC3 has an older zoran driver? Is there a way to tell the > version? I don't know what they did. Usually the "big" linux distributions change their kernel quite much. And so it can happen that the kernel behave different. > Would it help to try a test using RCA input instead of S-VIDEO? That whould be interresting, to prove if both version do work, or do not work. I think there was a guy from Australia (not Austria) who is using the DC30 with NTSC. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
