The trouble with that is most graphics cards generate a vblank interrupt on every field without distinguishing whether it's a top field or a bottom field so the player application only has a 50% chance of syncing to the correct field, and getting it wrong looks disastrous. Matrox G4x0 and G5x0 cards are the exception, their second output can be hooked up to a TV and provide separate top and bottom field interrupts, but only DirectFB supports it. That's what I'd been using until I upgraded to an LCD TV last month. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
