Please check this thread: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2008-July/017347.html Original patches: http://lowbyte.de/vga-sync-fields/ New version: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=80567 Those might help.. they're about getting pure 1:1 interlaced (576i) RGB output from a VGA card.. and the new version also has some HDTV stuff, I guess. I don't read german so i'm not familiar with that.. There are also patches to maintain perfect field sync to DVB stream to avoid tearing/stutter/jerkiness. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
