"half_resolution" ? > 6. switch_output_format : 2=RGB, 1=SVIDEO, 0=Composite Using "format" is a bit confusing IMHO. What about "output_source"? (Oh well this is maybe even more confusing...)

Well, without the hardware I probably won't help much - and I don't really plan to read the full data sheet ;) Don't know what to do with these. If it's not a "public" think, we don't care much, except that it might conflict with something else someday... Do as you want. If it's not widely used, this also mean we can change it later if needed. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
