I'm capturing analog NTSC with an old WinTV card (Bt 878).
It seems to work fine for everything except old black & white
movies. Recent attempts to record "Notorious" and "Arsenic and
Old Lace" on different days both failed, capturing only broken blocks
of video and chyopped audio -- although color lead-ins captured
fine. Has anyone else seen a similar problem, or does anyone have
suggestions for troubleshooting? <br>

Mythfilldatabase is not running during the record. The machine is
a P4 3 GHz with plenty of disk space and an HD-3000, running current
svn.</blockquote></span><div><br>
Do you have any odd messages in dmesg or the backend log? I
regularly record B&W movies from Turner Classic Movies and the
local community college channel on my BT878 card (a KWorld card), and
I've never seen anything like this.<br>

Thanks, but no log messages with -v channel,record,siparser indicate
anything out of the ordinary. My next step is to look at the
channel itself, outside myth.<br>
