[MPlayer-users] NTSC TV grabbing question

[Michal Seliga]

Hello

I have definitely no problems with TV/Video grabbing when the norm is PAL.
But I have borrowed few casettes from USA (and video recorder which can play them),
I guess they are in NTSC and I have big problems with them. I hope some
of you will know how to grab them....

when I grab them with norm=PAL norm they are with colours, but only top half of picture is OK,
 rest is sometimes OK, sometimes green, sometimnes the same as the top... always
different and never good. 

Also it ignores fps I add to -tv on:.... and always grab with 15fps (I think it could be half of
NTSC refresh rate?)

when I grab with norm=NTSC then video has proper regresh rate (29.97), it is in full picture - but without colors.

any ideas??? (norm=SECAM is completely bad, so don't care about it)

I think that my ATI TV Wonder VE supports both NTSC and PAL (at least from what I read about it, I have no docs...)

thanks in advance
