Correct, but you can do something like putting the mpeg stream  
through mplayer. Or try catting the output of the video device into a  
file and playing the result.

Any chance the OP could post a screenshot of the "scrambled" picture,  
perhaps a digital camera shot? I'm not sure what the problem is, but  
I suspect that it will become obvious once we see it. I'm guessing  
the mpeg is fine and it is a video output problem.
