[mythtv-users] Re: 1000th picture quality question

[Howard Cokl]

Trying to debug this problem that I recently noticed,
I don't think this is a myth issue.  I don't even know
that it's an ivtv issue right now.  What I did is cat
/dev/video0 > test.mpg and then ftp'd that file to my
desktop and viewed it using mplayer, it looked near
perfect except for interlacing.  Could the other
people having this problem try a similar experiment
and see if we can narrow this down.  For the record
I'm using an nvidia 5200 vga output to an old rca
vdc300 transcoder to component in on my hdtv, and yes
hdtv via the pchdtv 3000 looks awesome, haven't tried
dvd since I moved to cvs.
