But when calculating bytes-per-line we were extracting wrong value instead of bytes-per-pixel, which was usually 2 times bigger -- e.g. for PAL YUV 422 I was getting ((mask3 & 0x00F0) >> 4) = 4 bytes instead of 2. The error here is that even in comments there is a line saying * bytesperpixel IS ((0x00E0 & easycap_format.mask) >> 5) but we were using ((0x00F0 & easycap_format.mask) >> 4) With 2 times bigger bytesperpixel and automatically bytesperline, the video was shown halfheight'ed, which is understandable if we look at video-memory layout: <------- bytesperline --------> <- real bpl -> x0----------y0 x1-----------y1 x2----------y2 x3-----------y3 xn----------yn xn-----------yn <garbage> for each line, we should display width pixels, then move to next line with bytesperline, and oops, if bytesperline = 2*real-bytesperlin, we'll skip one line and move to next-next line, and so only half lines will be shown. Initially I've debugged the problem with my video application[1], but I've checked that after this patch both rawv (mine app) and tvtime work correctly.
