[QUOTE="Alphathon, post: 694710, member: 105814"] Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the aspect ratio thing (I'm getting it too). For me it isn't consistent (sometimes happens, sometimes doesn't), but when it has happened I have to restart MP to make it go away. It happens no matter what video codec is used.

[/LIST] [*]Note on analogue capture: [INDENT]I have tested the analogue capture capabilities and they seem to work fairly well. There is quite a significant amount of input lag, so using it to play consoles etc is a no-no. It supports both PAL and NTSC, and also seems to support 480p, although I cannot confirm this. No higher resolutions are supported. YPbPr is a little confusing - it doesn't use the green, blue and red RCAs like you would expect, but instead uses the yellow one for "Y" (normally the green one). Although I haven't tested it yet, I would assume RGB uses yellow for c-sync (don't know about sync-on-green support).
