Xawtv is capable of hardware overlay directly onto the X display with almost no CPU usage and pretty much real time, it has worked great for years.. but now the box needs modern hardware and software. I have attempted to compile xawtv using more modern versions of linux.. but I think xawtv is just too old to mess with at this point.. so the question is.. Anyone know of any other suitable software that will allow analog video overlay from BT878 chips? (and hopefully this is the correct forum for this!)

The problem is not xawtv, the problem is that modern gpus no longer support overlays. On the other hand, modern gpus are much faster and should have no problem handling the video bttv delivers. Xawtv still works fine for modern hardware, it just won't be using the overlay capability anymore. Regards, Hans ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
