[Please note that I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC: me on any replies. Thanks.] Hello, I've recently been working with an HD-2000 digital tuner card from pcHDTV to receive terrestrial HDTV in the USA. Because the video resolutions used for this content are very large (commonly 1920x1080 and 1280x720), I end up running into the XvImage video overlay size limit of 1024x1024 on the two video cards available to me at the moment, a Matrox G400 Max and a G550. I found that one workaround for this is to use the "TexturedVideo" option, which increases the limit to 2046x2046, but this is not overlayed video. It seems to carry a performance penalty (especially when attempting to scale large video), and the video frames being displayed don't synchronize with the scan of my monitor as well (when comparing smaller videos like DVD output and the ultra-sized Matrix trailers). Anyway, I was just curious if the 1024x1024 limit for overlayed video is a hardware limitation, or just an arbitrary value that was selected. If the hardware is capable of more, I'd appreciate it if work could be done to get overlay working at higher resolutions. Otherwise, well, I guess I'll go hunting for another video adapter.. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ On a clear disk you can / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ seek forever. \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088@xxxxxxxxxx ]
