Subject: Grabbing 4:3 and 16:9
Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:19:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47C3F5CB.1010707@mediaxim.be> (raw)
Our current systems use Hauppauge WinTV, dmesg as follows:
bttv1: Bt878 (rev 17) at 01:08.0, irq: 17, latency: 64, mmio: 0xf8001000
bttv1: detected: Hauppauge WinTV [card=10], PCI subsystem ID is 0070:13eb
bttv1: using: Hauppauge (bt878) [card=10,autodetected]

Here in Belgium the broadcasts is sometimes 4:3, sometimes 16:9.
Currently, the card goes automatically in letterbox mode when it
receives 16:9, and our software captures the 4:3 frames at size 704x576.
What I would like to do is to capture the 16:9 broadcast without
letterboxing (and the 4:3 without horizontal padding!) simply by
changing the pixel aspect ratio stated in our MPEG files. And since we
do 24/7 captures, this has to be done on-the-fly, no reinitialization of
the cards or the software allowed. Which leads to 2 questions:
1. How do I sense from the software that the mode is currently 16:9 or 4:3?
2. How do I setup the bttv so that it does variable anamorphosis instead
of letterboxing? If that is at all possible of course...
I *am* googling for all that, but "16/9" is one of those queries on
which search engines are really really bad, like "date" or "thread" :-(
TIA,
