Al,
Don't thank me, thank Mike and Jeff for the reporting and debugging.
The "hard" part for me was building a spreadsheet to compute the correct
PLL parameter values - that was pretty mechanical.

Mark and Al,
If you really want to test something, look in
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/v4l-dvb
the two latest changes should give you something decent for SVideo and
CVBS. The first analog capture after modprobe will be goofy as always.
(Still working on that one...)
If you set the stream type to TS instead of the default PS, you may be
able to run with unbuffered playback Although you may want to set the
enc_mpg_bufsize=16 parameter, as the default of a 32 kB individual
buffer sizes may seem a little jumpy if played back unbuffered.
This might be the only changes I get done this weekend, due to holiday
plans and obligations.
Regards,
Andy
