Have you tried TVTime and/or XawTV? Also, you may try "streamer -c /dev/video0 -n pal -s 640x480 -r 2 -t 10 -o image_00.jpeg" to confirm it's really a field order issue. The VLC is tricky. You have to specify the options right to get a good preview or recording. -----Original Message----- From: linux-media-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-media-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of xige Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2012 7:49 PM To: linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Can't capture fluent video with bt878 card (Osprey 210) Hi, everyone I found a problem with bt878 card under Linux(2.6 ~ 3.x) by v4l2 interface when I got a raw frame, but it looks like combined with wrong field order.
