[mythtv-users] Capturing with Philips SAA7130 based card

[Tim McClarren]

I have a cheap card based on the Philips SAA7130.

When capturing video in Myth (Live or otherwise) I get a few pixels of 
black along the left hand side, and some black and grey garbage along 
the bottom.  The rest of the image is fine (and includes all of the NTSC 
signal, AFAI can tell).

Does anyone know what I can configure in Myth to correct the capture on 
the back end?  The chipset supports cropping, I'm not sure the driver 
for Linux does though.

I can futz with playback on each front end to get the image looking 
nicely by overscanning slightly and moving it, but I'd rather crop out 
the garbage so that I can have nicely captured video that looks good in 
my media player, as well.
